Robert Haines has been hired by the New England Patriots to be their Midwest area scout.<\/p>\n
Haines began working with the Carolina Panthers in 2007, working in their video department. He would eventually work his way up through the organization and became a national scout in 2022.<\/p>\n
The Panthers parted ways with Haines after the 2024 season.<\/p>\n
His connection with the Patriots is well established after spending a good portion of his Carolina tenure working with current Patriots vice president of player personnel Ryan Cowden. Cowden worked as a scout for the Panthers from 2000 to 2015 before departing Carolina to take a position with the Tennessee Titans.<\/p>\n
Haines will likely replace the departing Justin Hickman. Hickman had been with the Patriots since 2020 and will join the Atlanta Falcons to become a national scout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Haines has been hired by the New England Patriots to be their Midwest area scout.
