Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is lapping other GMs, including his former right-hand man, Joe Douglas, and it's not just the Haason Reddick situation.
PHILADELPHIA – Howie Roseman is making his former right-hand man look silly. For four years, The Eagles general manager and Joe Douglas worked side-by-side. Douglas was the vice president of player personnel when the Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2017 before becoming the GM of the New York Jets in 2019.
What if this guard thing pans out for Becton and he ends up starting, which it looks like he will at right guard, and plays well? Even if Becton doesn’t work out at guard, he brings great value as a backup tackle. Roseman is why the Eagles have been to the playoffs in six of the last seven years, and have been to two Super Bowls, winning one and losing the other by three in the other thanks in part to a Kansas City Chiefs- friendly holding penalty against James Bradberry in the final two minutes.
That pick could go as high a second-rounder, but with the way things are going with Reddick now requesting to be traded, that probably won’t happen. Still, a second-day pick looks like good value. Douglas may not even be in charge anymore when it comes time for the Eagles to collect that compensation.
Roseman, meanwhile, may not invest resources in the linebacker position, but there’s no denying his run of success year in and year out. The playoff record and Super Bowl trips is one thing, but those who knock on his drafts should know this:
