The Patriots have hired former Tennessee Titans general manager Floyd Reese as a senior football advisor.

Reese has currently been working as an analyst for ESPN.

According to a Patriots press release he "will be involved with various football-related assignments, including contracts."

The Patriots also said Scott Pioli's replacement, director of player personnel Nick Caserio, "will manage the daily operations of the personnel department, continuing to work closely with Coach Bill Belichick on all personnel matters."

"We consider ourselves fortunate to have the opportunity to add someone with Floyd Reese's NFL experience and expertise to our staff," Patriots Chairman and CEO Robert Kraft said in the statement. "Floyd will be a tremendous asset serving Coach Belichick in an advisory role."

"Floyd and I go back a long way, practically to the beginning for both of us," said Belichick.

"He has handled as much as one person can possibly handle in this league and to a certain extent, so has Nick. In Nick and Floyd, we have two outstanding men who each bring a wealth of knowledge and flexibility to this organization. I look forward to joining with both of them and working toward the common goal of our team's improvement and success."
