The Philadelphia Eagles have made their share of solid personnel decisions over the past few seasons and according to a report from Jimmy Kempski of The Philly Voice, we can thank a dismissed former GM of a division rival for his consultation.
Kempski is reporting that former Redskins GM Scot McCloughan has been assisting the Eagles front office as a consultant for the past three years.
That could explain Howie Roseman being evasive towards the media when asked during his end of season press conference about the Eagles adding a fresh set of eyes to the front office.
It appears McLoughan, one of the NFL’s top personnel men, has been on the job for some time now.
McLoughan runs his own scouting service, ‘Instinctive Scouting’, and he’s seemed to have moved past the allegations of alcohol abuse that plagued him while with the Redskins.
He could find himself in a permanent role if Andrew Berry lands the GM job in Cleveland.
McCloughan was the GM for the Redskins from 2015 to 2016 and has spent time in the front offices of the 49ers, Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks.
