JUST NOW: Eagles Hit with Devastating Blow Just Days Before Playoff Clash with Packers
The Eagles’ front office is widely considered to be among the best in the NFL, and it appears that general manager Howie Roseman may lose one of his most trusted voices. In his 17th season with the team, assistant general manager Alec Halaby will reportedly interview with the New York Jets for their open general manager position. Halaby has held a number of positions in Philadelphia and is expected to remain a sought-after candidate throughout the league, even if the Jets end up taking a different route. The Eagles are getting ready for an NFC Wild Card matchup with the Packers after securing the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, and Halaby’s excellent work in helping to assemble this roster will be on full display.
Eagles Assistant GM Alec Halaby to Interview for Jets Position
New York’s chaotic ownership and dysfunctional culture present a stark contrast to what Alec Halaby has experienced in Philadelphia. While Eagles GM Howie Roseman runs a well-organized and efficient operation, the Jets often appear to struggle with basic cohesion. Even if Halaby isn’t interested in a potential role with the Jets, it’s still smart to explore whether there’s mutual interest.
Halaby began his journey with the Eagles as an intern and steadily climbed the ranks, holding positions such as special assistant to the general manager, player personnel assistant, and vice president of football operations and strategy, before becoming assistant general manager.
His career progression is impressive, showcasing 17 years of dedication within a franchise known for its stability and consistent success. That same consistency, led by key decision-makers like Roseman, has been a cornerstone of the Eagles’ excellence. It’s no surprise that Roseman would want to retain Halaby for as long as possible.
Still, Halaby has earned the right to explore new opportunities. For now, though, his focus remains on Philadelphia’s upcoming playoff showdown with Green Bay. The Eagles are currently listed as 4.5-point favorites by FanDuel Sportsbook and have +650 odds to win the Super Bowl. If this season ends in a championship, it would be a fitting send-off for Halaby, should he choose to move on.
