The architect of the Super Bowl LII and Super Bowl LIX Championship rosters, Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman is in his 27th 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 among the most accomplished and respected front office visionaries in the game.
Roseman entered a revered class of executives when he became the fifth general manager with personnel authority to win Super Bowls with multiple quarterbacks, joining Bobby Beathard, Al Davis, Ozzie Newsome and George Young. He and Newsome are the only members of that group to preside over two Super Bowl victories with a different head coach and quarterback each season (Doug Pederson with Nick Foles in Super Bowl LII and Nick Sirianni with Jalen Hurts in Super Bowl LIX). One of two personnel chiefs to win multiple Super Bowls and NFL Executive of the Year (2017, 2022) awards from the Pro Football Writers of America (also George Young), Roseman stands alongside Bill Belichick, Kevin Colbert and Brett Veach as the four general managers with at least three Super Bowl berths and two championships since the league's salary cap was introduced in 1994.
Operating in a period defined by its competitive balance, Roseman is one of the most effective general managers of the salary cap era. His .614 (131-82-1) career winning percentage as Philadelphia's top decision-maker ranks fourth in the NFL since 1994 (including playoffs), behind Bill Belichick (.676), Kevin Colbert (.638) and Bill Polian (.627) (min. 200 games). In addition, Roseman has logged the fifth-most postseason victories (10, tied) by a general manager in the salary cap era, trailing only Bill Belichick (31), Brett Veach (17), Kevin Colbert (15) and Ozzie Newsome (15).
In his 12 seasons with roster control, Roseman has flourished as the winningest general manager with the highest combined winning percentage in franchise history, constructing nine playoff teams (most ever by an Eagles general manager) that have achieved six division crowns (2013, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2024, 2025), three conference pennants (2017, 2022, 2024) and two Super Bowl Championships (LII, LIX). Since the 1970 NFL merger, only three executives with general manager functions have earned division titles with four head coaches – Roseman, Al Davis and Jerry Jones.
Revitalizing the team's football operations with a collaborative and progressive approach to roster building and player development, Roseman has guided the Eagles to the most postseason appearances (eight, tied) in the league since 2016 (one of three clubs with berths in eight of the last nine seasons). He also ranks second among general managers in playoff games (16), playoff wins (10, tied), division titles (five) and total victories (111), while advancing to the third-most conference championship games (three, tied) in that span. Furthermore, Roseman has contracted the most individual Pro Bowl selections (27) by a general manager over the last 10 seasons, which includes recognition at every offensive and defensive position.
Having made five straight postseason trips (tied for a franchise record), Philadelphia has posted the second-best winning percentage (.694, 59-26) in the NFL since 2021. Roseman has guarded the short-term and long-term outlook of the Eagles through shrewd decision making, signing a multitude of impact players through extensions and free agency while infusing a wave of foundational talent through the NFL Draft and the trade market. During that stretch, 18 players have collected 33 Pro Bowl accolades, while 13 players have garnered 20 All-Pro honors from the Associated Press.
In 2025, Roseman became just the seventh general manager in history to have each of the first two picks from the same draft class collect first-team AP All-Pro distinction within their first two seasons – Quinyon Mitchell (22nd-overall pick in 2024) and Cooper DeJean (40th-overall pick in 2024). Mitchell and DeJean were also the first such pairing to accomplish that feat after contributing to a Super Bowl Championship (LIX) as starters.
Roseman designed one of the greatest rosters of the salary cap era in 2024. Featuring a bevy of outstanding individual performances, Philadelphia tied an NFL record with 18 combined 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 (Saquon Barkley – winner) and AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year finalist (Zack Baun) in the same offseason.
In 2022, Roseman assembled a record-breaking unit that advanced to Super Bowl LVII after producing the most regular-season wins (14) in Eagles history. Roseman, who is the only general manager to lead Philadelphia to multiple trips to the Super Bowl (LII, LVII, LIX), became the first NFL general manager to make it back to the Super Bowl with a different head coach and quarterback within five years of their previous appearance.
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 the first Super Bowl title in franchise history. In doing so, Roseman became just the third general manager to win a Super Bowl with a quarterback who started three-or-fewer games in the regular season (also Bobby Beathard and George Young).
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 three general managers (Andrew Berry, Joe Douglas and Ryan Grigson) and four assistant general managers (Brandon Brown, Ian Cunningham, Catherine Hickman and Andy Weidl).
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.
Since he was hired in 2000, Philadelphia ranks second in playoff games (36) and playoff victories (20) and third in playoff appearances (18), while totaling a division-best 12 NFC East crowns with the second-most conference title games (eight) and third-most Super Bowl berths (XXXIX, LII, LVII, LIX).
Roseman serves on the General Managers Advisory Committee, which provides feedback and recommendations to the League office and the Competition Committee, ensures the NFL develops pipelines for players, coaches, and front office personnel, and promotes innovation around the game.
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.
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.
