Eagles GM Howie Roseman Getting 'Enough Credit?' Chiefs' Andy Reid Weighs In
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman currently possesses one of the most well-constructed rosters in the NFL, and it's no surprise to one of his old colleagues.
Former Eagles and current Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, appeared on "94WIP Middays with Hugh Douglas and Joe Giglio" Wednesday afternoon, and when asked about Roseman, he recognized his former colleague's talent but believes the general manager doesn't receive enough credit throughout the NFL.
"He loves the personnel side of things and he's great with contracts, we all know that," Reid said. "He had a nice eye for talent and so I welcomed him on that side of things [during our time together] and I thought he did a great job. And I don't think he gets enough credit now throughout the NFL. To go through the phases that the team goes through, and the ups and the downs, and still be able to put a team together like he's got right now personnel wise I just think is tremendous."
Additionally, Reid praised Roseman for his ability to hire consecutive coaches who were both able to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl in their first two years with the team.
"And then the ability to hire Coach (Nick) Sirianni, that was a great hire for him," Reid said. "Doug Pederson was a great hire for him and he's put the team and the city in a place where they're competing for championships and that's all you can really ask for. The NFL you have the best in the world, 32 of the best in the world and he's right there at the top of it. So it's kind of a neat thing to watch."
Roseman and the Eagles will get to face Reid and the Chiefs this season, as they are scheduled for a Week 11 rematch of Super Bowl LVII at Arrowhead Stadium.
