Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has been named the NFL Executive of the Year by the Pro Football Writers Association of America.
Roseman was instrumental in making the personnel moves that transformed the Eagles from 7-9 and last place in the NFC East to 13-3, NFC East champions, and a NFC Championship game appearance. This despite losing Carson Wentz, Darren Sproles, Jason Peters, Jordan Hicks, and Chris Maragos for the season.

Here were some of the moves Roseman made that got the Eagles to 13-3:
- Signing Alshon Jeffrey, Chris Long, and LeGarrette Blount in free agency
- Trading Jordan Matthews for Ronald Darby in August
- Corey Clement as an undrafted free agent
- Resigning Stefen Wisniewski to a multi-year contract
- Trading for Tim Jernigan and receiving a 2017 third-round pick, despite giving up a third-round pick (selecting Rasul Douglas with that pick)
- Trading for Jay Ajayi at the trade deadline
- Drafting Douglas, Derek Barnett, Mack Hollins, and Elijah Qualls...all players that have contributed to the team in 2017.
- Signing Jake Elliott after Caleb Sturgis went down in Week 1.
This is Roseman's first Executive of the Year Honor. Well deserved.

One hell of a job Howie.

Yep. Howie has taken a lot of heat over the years and I am sure he will have to continue wheeling and dealing to stay in front of the sal cap implications and lack of draft picks but reality is he did well. Both he and Doug should get RAVE reviews considering people (fans, media, NFL insiders) thought they were lightweights.

I really thought he deserved it last year for rebuilding this team from the pile of shit Chip left to a respectable team in a single off season. Great job this year too and regardless of when he got it, it’s nice to see him get the award!

As a real doubter and, sometimes, harsh critic of Howie, I enthusiastically admit he's done a really great job of: A. cleaning up so effectively after the arrogant ass wipe decimated the roster and was shown the door and B. building a championship contender.

WTF! That is what we're doing...Right Cholly? Contending.

Somebody pinch me.
