A two-time NFL Executive of the Year and architect of the first Super Bowl championship in franchise history, Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman is in his 25th season with the Philadelphia Eagles. After working his way up through the Eagles' football operations and scouting departments, Roseman has cemented himself as one of the most accomplished and respected front office executives in the league.
Roseman has greatly impacted decades of sustained success in Philadelphia. Since he was hired in 2000, the Eagles rank third in the league in playoff victories (16, tied) and postseason berths (16), which includes a division-leading 10 NFC East crowns during that stretch. Philadelphia also ranks second in the NFL with seven conference title games since 2001.
One of just four general managers to receive multiple NFL Executive of the Year honors from the Pro Football Writers of America, Roseman has revitalized the Eagles' football operations with a collaborative and progressive approach to roster building and player development. As a result, Philadelphia has earned playoff trips in six of the last seven seasons, won three NFC East championships (2017, '19, '22) and made two Super Bowl appearances (LII and LVII), including a 41-33 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. In 2022, Roseman became the second general manager to reach multiple Super Bowls with both a different head coach and quarterback in each season (only one to accomplish the feat in a six-year span), joining Ozzie Newsome with the Baltimore Ravens (2000, '12).
In addition, the Eagles' recent track record of excellence has created opportunities for numerous personnel executives to step into senior roles with other clubs, including two general managers (Andrew Berry, Cleveland Browns; Joe Douglas, New York Jets) as well as four assistant general managers (Brandon Brown, New York Giants; Ian Cunningham, Chicago Bears; Catherine Raiche, Cleveland Browns; Andy Weidl, Pittsburgh Steelers).
Roseman's roster-building prowess has been critical in returning Philadelphia to perennial playoff contention. Having made three straight postseason appearances, including a trip to Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles have produced the fifth-best winning percentage (.667, 34-17) in the league since 2021. In that window, Roseman has protected the short-term and long-term outlook of the franchise through innovative decision making, signing a number of key players through extensions and free agency while infusing a wave of foundational talent through the NFL Draft. Furthermore, over the last three seasons, 12 players have collected 21 Pro Bowl honors, along with seven players earning 12 All-Pro accolades from the Associated Press.
In 2017, Roseman played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of the Eagles' Super Bowl LII-winning team. Faced with season-ending injuries to key players, Roseman's focused leadership and in-season roster management helped Philadelphia produce a 13-3 regular-season campaign while also securing the top seed in the NFC playoffs ahead of its championship run.
Roseman, who served as the Eagles' Executive Vice President of Football Operations from 2016-18 before adding the title of General Manager in 2019, is responsible for managing the organization's personnel and scouting staffs. He also oversees the executives who specialize in all areas of football operations, including but not limited to sports medicine and performance, analytics, football administration, football technology, and player development. Under Roseman's guidance, and in concert with the vision created by Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia has become one of the NFL's most admired and innovative operations.
Before he was elevated to Executive Vice President of Football Operations, Roseman served as the general manager from 2010-14. At the time of his promotion, the 34-year-old Roseman became the youngest NFL executive to be named to the post in three decades. He directed a major overhaul of the roster in his first year, making it one of the youngest in the league. The revamped Eagles delivered NFC East titles in 2010 and 2013 and sent a conference-high nine players to the Pro Bowl following the 2014 season.
From 2008-09, Roseman managed the college scouting staff, organized and ran draft meetings, and scouted the top college prospects around the country as the vice president of player personnel.
Roseman was named Philadelphia's vice president of football administration (2006-07) after spending three years as the team's director of football administration (2003-05). In that role, he evaluated players around the NFL and for the draft while representing the team on contract, salary cap, and player personnel matters. In 2007, Roseman was invited to participate in the NFL-Stanford Program for managers at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, an NFL program created to develop leaders within the league.
After relentlessly pursuing jobs in NFL front offices, Roseman finally got his foot in the door as an intern with the Eagles, when the team was headquartered at Veterans Stadium. He quickly rose to salary cap staff counsel, a role he held with Philadelphia from 2000-02.
Roseman serves on the General Managers Advisory Committee, which provides feedback and recommendations to the League office and the Competition Committee, ensures the NFL continues to develop pipelines for players, coaches, and front office personnel, and promotes innovation around the game. He also is a member of the Future of Football Advisory Committee, contributing to a panel of executives organized through the Football Operations Innovation Forum to showcase various initiatives.
Roseman, the club's nominee for the 2018 NFL Salute to Service Award, is very active in the Philadelphia community and contributes to a variety of initiatives that involve the military and children. He was named Honorary Commander for the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst for his continued efforts with the military. His charitable endeavors have also benefited the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, USA Football, Pop Warner, and Cop Wheels. In 2018, the Maxwell Football Club presented Roseman with the Steinberg-DeNicola Humanitarian Award, an annual honor that recognizes an NFL representative who is committed to doing good in their community. In addition, Roseman is a member of the Governing Body of the Global Sports Management Summit and YPO.
Born in Brooklyn, NY, Roseman earned his bachelor's degree from Florida before earning a J.D. degree from Fordham Law School. He and his wife, Mindy, reside in suburban Philadelphia with their four children.
