Cap Guru Turned Talent Scout?
Just not sure about this...
Howie Roseman, previously the vice president of football administration and a key player in working on the team's salary cap, will now move to the personnel department and assume Licht's former title.
...
Roseman, 33, has been with the Eagles since the 2000 season. He was hired specifically to help team president Joe Banner on salary-cap matters, but had been involved in some personnel matters in recent years. One decision that definitely included Roseman was the signing of defensive end Juqua Thomas, who now goes by Juqua Parker.
The Eagles acquired Parker after he was released by the Tennessee Titans, and he became a starter for them last season. Roseman had also handled many of the team's contract negotiations.
Honestly, that's pretty much what I've got for today. Lot of good rookie minicamp coverage in the local papers from over the weekend. Should be enough to keep us all fed with Eagles news for a day.
I have no problem with Howie's promotion. They have a team of scouts and Heckert/Reid make the personnel decisions. Howie will just be another voice in the evaluation process. He's a rising star in the organization. Here's a guy who could be a GM for someone in the near future. The Eagles give talented people opportunities to advance.
