Eagles GMTom Heckert will interview later today with the Atlanta Falcons for the GM job. He's the leading candidate. It woiuld be a promotion for Heckert who could take the same job with Atlanta but add final say to his responsibilities.
The Eagles GM will be under pressure to take the job because he turned down the Minnesota Vikings last season. If he turns down the Falcons he might get on the impossible to please list. Teams might start to stop bothering to offer him the job if he continues to refuse to accept it.
There's no question that the Atlanta situation is very troubling. They are still trying to recover from the jailing of Michael Vick and the early exit of head Bobby Petrino. They lack talent at the quarterback positionm not to mention that the morale of the team and city are at a very low level.
The positive about the situation is the fact that if he can bring the Falcons back, there's no question who will get the credit.
It's debatable whether losing him will help or hurt the Eagles draft chances. Overall, I like Heckert and think he was an assett rather than a liability.
