The Eagles announced today that they have signed general manager Tom Heckert to a contract extension,
which will keep him in town through 2011.
The team has also promoted Howie Roseman to V.P. of player personnel, a job previously held by Jason Licht.
"I feel we have strengthened our personnel staff today by extending Tom's contract and by promoting Howie Roseman," said head coach Andy Reid. "Tom's leadership and work ethic has continued to impress me over the years. Tom has also done a great job of nurturing and incorporating Howie's talent into the personnel side of the organization. Howie has demonstrated a sharp eye for talent evaluation along with a knack for creative draft and free agent strategies. Both Tom and I feel Howie will be an excellent addition to the Philadelphia Eagles personnel staff."
G. Cobb Comment – I feel these signings are tied to the Jason Licht firing. I know that had to replace him but adding years to these guys contracts gives the organization the look of additional stability after a surprising firing.
