Inside the Eagles’ Secret Blueprint: How One GM Engineered Three Super Bowl Triumphs
Roseman was not precious about:
- Foles, the playoff hero, had one year left on his contract in Philadelphia. Roseman let him exit to Jacksonville in free agency on a big deal that worked out fine for everyone but the Jaguars.
- Wentz, the franchise quarterback, had a megadeal and would have won NFL MVP in 2017 if not for his late-season injury. By 2021, the Eagles had released him.
- Pederson had delivered the franchiseâs first title. The Eagles fired him after three more seasons, only one of which â a four-win pandemic season in 2020 â saw them miss the playoffs.
Roseman made Pederson the third-fastest coach to get fired following a Super Bowl win, the kind of move that can wreck a general managerâs reputation if it doesnât work.
