Eagles Notes: Roseman moved out of football office

Howie Roseman's office was recently moved from the football operations end of the NovaCare Complex to the business side, sources said, another indication of the former Eagles general manager's lessening involvement with decisions related to the team.

Roseman's old office was two doors down from coach Chip Kelly. He had the same space when Andy Reid was previously head coach. Roseman, whose new title is executive vice president of football operations, now occupies a former conference room that is near Ari Roitman, senior vice president of business.

The Eagles had no comment.

The second floor of the Eagles training facility is split. Offices for the coaching staff and members of the personnel department are to the left at the top of central staircase and offices for business personnel - team president Don Smolenski, for instance - are to the right.

The Eagles currently don't have a GM after owner Jeffrey Lurie gave Kelly full control over football operations two months ago.

Ed Marynowitz, who was recently promoted to vice president of player personnel and is now seen as Kelly's second-in-command in evaluating players, was given a larger office, although it was unclear if he moved into Roseman's old office.

Alec Halaby, who still has the title of special assistant to the GM even though there isn't one, was also moved to the business side. The Harvard-educated Halaby included statistical analysis into some of his previous work for Roseman. He attended both the Senior Bowl and the NFL combine this offseason, but his role under the new front office structure is ambiguous.

The Eagles have not approached running back LeSean McCoy about restructuring his contract despite a recent report to the contrary, two sources close to the situation told The Inquirer.

McCoy's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, later confirmed to ProFootballTalk.com that there had been no discussions yet about reworking his client's deal.

That doesn't mean the Eagles won't eventually come to McCoy. He has said that he would be willing to restructure his deal, but he was also emphatic that he wouldn't take a pay cut. McCoy is slated to earn $10.25 million this season and count $11.95 million against the salary cap.

But the Eagles aren't pressed to get McCoy's cap number down. They will have plenty of cap space by the start of the new league year on March 10 when teams are required to be under the projected $143 million cap figure.

There has also been increasing speculation that McCoy would be a trade chip in the attempt to move up for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota. It would be unwise to rule out any possibility at this point.

Each of the first four teams in the draft - the Bucs, Titans, Jaguars and Raiders - is without a franchise tailback. But the Bucs and Titans have a greater need at quarterback and passing on either Mariota or Jameis Winston may be difficult.

The Eagles would also be hard pressed to replace McCoy, one of the few elite running backs in the league. His production dropped in 2014, but McCoy will be only 27 in July and Kelly's offense sputtered whenever the ground game was stagnant.
