Halaby joined the Eagles in 2017 as a pro personnel analyst, steadily climbing the front office ranks to be named assistant GM in 2022, where he worked directly under executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman. Widely regarded as one of the brightest young executives in the NFL, Halaby specialized in salary cap strategy, contract negotiation, and cross-departmental alignment between scouting and football operations teams. His work was instrumental to the Eagles’ Super Bowl LII victory in his first year with the organization, as he led contract restructuring efforts for key veteran players that freed up $12 million in critical cap space to add defensive depth ahead of the 2017 playoff run. He also served as the lead negotiator for the 2022 blockbuster trade for wide receiver A.J. Brown, structuring a multi-year extension that kept Brown under team control through 2026 while preserving enough financial flexibility to sign quarterback Jalen Hurts to a record-setting long-term deal in 2023. The team’s official statement noted that Halaby’s departure is fully amicable, and aligned with his long-term career goal of pursuing lead general manager roles across the league. “Alec has been an irreplaceable part of our front office for seven years, bringing unmatched attention to detail, creative problem-solving for cap challenges, and a sharp eye for talent that helped us build consistent playoff contenders year after year,” Roseman said in the public announcement. “We support his decision to chase the next step in his career, and he will always be part of the Eagles family for the role he played in bringing a Super Bowl back to Philadelphia.” The announcement comes during a high-stakes 2024 offseason for the Eagles, who have already completed 11 free agent signings, re-signed three core defensive starters, and hold seven picks in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft including the 22nd overall selection. Team officials confirmed that senior director of football operations Catherine Raiche and vice president of player personnel Andy Weidl will take over Halaby’s duties on an interim basis, while the franchise conducts a national search for a permanent replacement. Multiple league insiders have already linked Halaby to open executive roles with the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders, both of which are restructuring their front offices after disappointing 2023 campaigns.
