The architect of the Super Bowl LII and Super Bowl LIX Championship rosters, Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman is in his 26th season with the Philadelphia Eagles. After working his way up through the franchise's football operations and scouting departments, the two-time NFL Executive of the Year has cemented himself as one of the most accomplished and respected front office visionaries in the game.
Roseman is the fifth general manager to win Super Bowls with multiple quarterbacks, along with Pro Football Hall of Famers Bobby Beathard, Al Davis, Ozzie Newsome and George Young. He and Newsome are the only general managers to preside over two Super Bowl victories with a different head coach and quarterback in each season (the only one to do so within eight seasons). One of two general managers to win multiple Super Bowls and NFL Executive of the Year awards from the Pro Football Writers of America (also George Young), Roseman joins Bill Belichick, Kevin Colbert and Brett Veach as the only general managers with at least three Super Bowl berths and two championships since the league's salary cap was introduced in 1994.
Roseman has greatly impacted decades of sustained success in Philadelphia, as his roster-building prowess has been instrumental in the Eagles maintaining perennial postseason contention. Since he was hired in 2000, Philadelphia ranks second in the NFL in playoff appearances (17), playoff games (35) and playoff victories (20), while totaling a division-best 11 NFC East crowns with the second-most conference title games (eight) and thirdmost Super Bowl trips (XXXIX, LII, LVII, LIX) in the league. Only three general managers have captured division championships with four head coaches since the 1970 NFL merger – Roseman, Al Davis and Jerry Jones.
Owning the highest winning percentage (.614, 110-69-1 from 2013-14, 2016-present) ever by an Eagles general manager with personnel authority (including de facto general managers), Roseman has revitalized the team's football operations with a collaborative and progressive approach to roster building and player development. In his 11 years at the helm, Philadelphia has eight playoff appearances with five division crowns (2013, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2024), three conference titles (2017, 2022, 2024) and two Super Bowl Championships (LII, LIX). Notably, the Eagles are one of just three clubs with postseason berths in seven of the last eight campaigns.
Having made four consecutive playoff trips, including two Super Bowls, Philadelphia has recorded the third-best winning percentage (.706, 48-20) in the NFL since 2021. Roseman has protected the short-term and long-term outlook of the franchise through innovative decision making, signing a multitude of impact players through extensions and free agency while infusing a wave of foundational talent through the NFL Draft. Furthermore, over the last four seasons, 16 players have collected 27 Pro Bowl accolades, while 11 players have garnered 18 All-Pro honors from the Associated Press.
In 2024, Roseman constructed one of the greatest rosters of the NFL's salary cap era. Featuring a number of outstanding individual performances, the Eagles tied an NFL record with 18 regular-season and postseason wins, including a 40-22 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Roseman became the first general manager in the league's free agency era (since 1993) to sign an AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year finalist (winner) and AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year finalist in the same offseason. He also drafted two AP NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year finalists. In addition, Philadelphia's offensive line, which paved the way for several NFL and team rushing records, saw all five of its starters receive AP All-Pro votes.
Roseman played a pivotal role in ensuring the success of the Eagles' Super Bowl LII-winning team in 2017. Faced with season-ending injuries to a handful of key players, his focused leadership and in-season roster management helped navigate Philadelphia to its first Super Bowl title. In doing so, Roseman became the third general manager to win a Super Bowl with a quarterback who started three-or-fewer games in the regular season.
The Eagles' track record of excellence under Roseman has created opportunities for numerous personnel executives to step into senior roles with other clubs as well, including two general managers (Andrew Berry and Joe Douglas) and four assistant general managers (Brandon Brown, Ian Cunningham, Catherine Hickman and Andy Weidl) over the last seven years.
Roseman, who served as Executive Vice President of Football Operations from 2015-18 before adding the title of General Manager in 2019, is responsible for the personnel and scouting staffs and oversees all areas of football operations, including but not limited to sports medicine and performance, analytics, football administration, football technology and player development. Under his 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 was the youngest NFL executive to be named to the post in three decades. He administered an 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, and USA Football. In 2024, Roseman was named Most Valuable Philadelphian by the Philadelphia Visitors Center for his contributions to the city. In 2018, the Maxwell Football Club presented him 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.
Born in Brooklyn, NY, Roseman earned his bachelor's degree from Florida before obtaining a J.D. degree from Fordham Law School. He and his wife, Mindy, reside in suburban Philadelphia with their four children.
