Eagles assistant general manager is leaving after a long time in Philly
· Yahoo Sports
Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby has “decided to step away to start a new professional chapter of his career,” according to reporting from NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo.
This news comes as a surprise since Halaby is highly regarded by the Eagles and has previously drawn interest from other teams around the league. The 38-year-old interviewed for multiple general manager openings; the Miami Dolphins met with him before hiring Jon-Eric Sullivan earlier this year.

One can only speculate about what led Halaby — who has been known for his analytics background — to this decision. Perhaps he felt like there wasn’t a great path to advancing his career by staying with the Eagles. We saw former Eagles executive Jake Rosenberg make a similar decision in this regard two years ago.
Howie Roseman is firmly entrenched as the Eagles’ general manager, so, it’s not like he’s going anywhere. And Halaby’s assistant GM title allowed Philly to prevent him from interviewing for any non-GM jobs (or decision-making equivalents) elsewhere in the NFL.
Halaby, who originally joined the Eagles as an intern back in 2007, undoubtedly made important contributions to the team’s two-time Super Bowl-winning success during his tenure. The team will miss him, just like they’ll miss Bryce Johnston who also left the organization this week.
It remains to be seen how Roseman will fill these openings.
