Packers promote Wolf to director of player personnel

Published

on

The Green Bay Packers promoted Eliot Wolf to director of player personnel on Friday.

Wolf, 33, has been with the Packers for 11 years, including the last three years as director of pro personnel. Wolf is the son of Ron Wolf, the former longtime Packers general manager who is a finalist this year for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Ron Wolf, who retired as a Packers front-office executive in 2001, has joined Charley Casserly as consultants to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson in the search process after coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik were fired Monday.

In 2011, Eliot Wolf served as the Packers’ assistant director of player personnel after working as the assistant director of pro personnel from 2008-10. Wolf originally joined the Packers as a pro personnel assistant in 2004 and spent four seasons in that position.

Wolf could be considered a potential long-term replacement for Ted Thompson, the Packers’ executive vice president, general manager and director of football operations. Thompson signed a contract extension before this season.
