The Eagles promoted Andy Weidl to director of player personnel, giving a new title to Joe Douglas’ top assistant in the front office.
Weidl, who works closely with Douglas in assembling the Eagles’ roster, was the assistant director of player personnel the last two seasons. There will be speculation throughout the season that Douglas, the Eagles’ vice president of player personnel, could be on top of lists for potential general manger openings elsewhere in the NFL. Weidl is next on the Eagles’ organizational flow chart after Douglas. He enters his 21st season in the NFL.
Weidl’s promotion headlined eight changes in the Eagles scouting department.
