Glaser worked in the Patriots’ facility this week and was open about her intention to leave the franchise, according to a source. Glaser leaves after 18 seasons with the Patriots, serving initially as an advisor to ownership in 2007, then a vice president in 2011 and a senior vice president in 2018. Four years later, she was promoted to senior vice president of business affairs and chief administrative officer of football.

Glaser primarily dealt with football contracts, budgets, league compliance and other team business. She developed relationships with locker-room leaders, including retired safety Devin McCourty, who posted Friday on social media calling her a close friend.

Last season, Jerod Mayo chose to add Glaser as a personal advisor over his only year as head coach. Glaser continued to work closely with ownership, which fired Mayo on Jan. 5 and last week hired Mike Vrabel to replace him. Under Vrabel, the Patriots continue to remake their football operations as they attempt to reboot the franchise following their fourth losing season in five years.

Shortly after Vrabel was hired, ex-Patriots linebacker Tedy Bruschi may have hinted at Glaser’s role in football operations being reduced in comments he delivered on ESPN.

“Because Vrabel isn’t going to joke around, Vrabel is going to tighten the screws. In my opinion, there are some people in the front office that need to be told, ‘You don’t know what you’re doing and you need to take a step back,’ ” Bruschi said.

He continued: “I love the hire. Of course, this guy is a friend of mine. But there is going to be a change. I’m a little bit surprised that this happened because there are some people upstairs in the organization that want to be heard. And sometimes they’re going to have to take a bite of ‘Humble Pie’ and understand ‘your opinion doesn’t matter on this one’ because there are people in the building that know more.

“I hope that is what happens this time around because the collaboration project did not work.”
