The Eagles on Friday afternoon announced their lengthy full list of front office promotions and new hires.
As reported earlier in the day, Jon Ferrari and Alex Halaby were promoted to assistant general manager, but Howie Roseman made numerous other moves as part of a full restructure of the front office.
The Eagles' front office is structured in two tiers with the hires falling either under football operations (salary cap, financial planning, player development, equipment, etc.) and scouting.
