PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- The Philadelphia Eagles on Friday
extended the contract of general manager Tom Heckert through
2011.
Heckert, who is entering his eighth season with the team, works
closely with coach Andy Reid in all player personnel matters,
while managing the player personnel department. He originally
joined the Eagles as the club's director player personnel in
2001, was promoted to vice president of player personnel in 2003
and to general manager in 2006.
Also on Friday, the Eagles named Howie Roseman vice president of
player personnel.
Roseman, formerly the team's vice president of football
administration, is in his ninth year with the Eagles. He joined
the team in 2000 as salary cap/staff counsel. He was elevated
to director of football administration in 2003 and to vice
president of football administration in 2006.
"I feel we have strengthened our personnel staff today by
extending Tom's contract and by promoting Howie Roseman," Reid
said. "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."
