Howie Roseman Gets Top Praise in Latest GM Rankings
· Yahoo Sports
There seems to be consensus around the NFL that Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is the best in the league.
Roseman continues to push all the right buttons, and while not every move has gone as planned, there's never been a general manager who has made every right decision.

At the same time, Roseman is one of those guys who has really done a lot of good each and every year. Instead of overreacting and not making the right moves, he typically presses the right buttons at the right time. There's something to be said about moving on from guys at the right time, even if it isn't the popular opinion when it's made.
For those reasons and more, Roseman was recently ranked as the top executive in the NFL. It was interesting to see why, and much of it is due to who he cut ties with rather than who he's added.
“Sometimes a fact becomes so obvious, no one bothers saying it out loud. This is where I point out Howie Roseman is already a Hall-of-Famer. Having long since outlasted Andy Reid and Chip Kelly, Roseman has gone on to achieve one of the most difficult feats in professional sports: winning a championship with two different cores. Even more rare for the NFL, he has done it with both different coaches and quarterbacks. If the Nick Foles/Doug Pederson season was the fairy tale, the Jalen Hurts/Nick Sirianni title was the legacy-cementer.
“Those accomplishments coming just seven years apart feels almost impossible in the NFL, but speak to Roseman’s greatest strength: He never wallows in a mistake for long. It didn’t matter that Carson Wentz was the No. 2 overall pick. It was irrelevant that Pederson won a Super Bowl. They were no longer the right fit for Roseman’s roster, so he moved on to greener pastures,” Patrick Daugherty of NBC wrote.
Interestingly, many of the same things mentioned above could happen again next year. If guys like Jalen Hurts don't perform well, it wouldn't be surprising to see Roseman cut ties with him and fix what he believes is wrong.
We can say the same thing about someone like Nick Sirianni, as the recent Super Bowl-winning head coach faces a lot of pressure to win games at the highest level and bring the Eagles back to the top of the NFL world next year.
