Howie Roseman was named executive of the year by the Pro Football Writers’ Association on Thursday, after overseeing the building of a team that improved from 7-9 in 2016 to 13-3 this season.
Roseman, the Eagles’ executive vice president of football operations, has final say on football decisions. He was the Eagles’ general manager from 2010-14, was not involved in football decisions in 2015 at the behest of then-coach Chip Kelly, then regained authority in 2016. Roseman has transformed the roster since then, most notably with a series of trades to land the No. 2 pick in 2016 in order to draft quarterback Carson Wentz.
