The Eagles have been among the big winners during the NFL’s free-agent frenzy, and a massive component of the organization’s cap wizardry is departing for greener pastures.
Jake Rosenberg, Philadelphia’s vice president of football administration and a salary cap wizard, is leaving the franchise in hopes of furthering his career in the NFL, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
“Over a pretty extended period of time I have just thought to myself that if it doesn’t seem like it’s in the cards for me to advance in this league, and have a chance to keep pushing and growing, that at the end of the day, what is involved to do this in terms of a life perspective, it’s not going to be worth it,” Rosenberg told The Inquirer.
Rosenberg told Jeff McLane that the decision was his alone. He hopes to stay in the NFL and work for a team where he can pursue his goal of becoming a GM.
Rosenberg and Eagles general manager Howie Roseman have been friends since elementary school, and he’s had a role with the Eagles since 2012, joining the team after working as a trader in bonds and commodities.
