I was wondering this as well. Is there any $$$ around to sign Bradford? He's starting to look like a cap goner.

Salary cap not a huge concern

If Lurie had ever thought that he was going to get someone with clout or someone Roseman would end up reporting to, he was deluded. It would be naïve to think that he didn’t know as much. He had already announced in December when he fired Chip Kelly that Roseman would be on the three-man search committee for the new coach.

Roseman was the queen piece of the coaching search. The new coach knew that he would remain part of the structure and that he would have to work very closely with the vice president of football operations. Whether that impeded the search or not is unclear, although the Eagles conducted the affair as if they settled.

After flirtations with Adam Gase, Tom Coughlin and Ben McAdoo – and there was more than a flirtation with McAdoo – the Eagles selected Pederson, who wasn’t interviewed by any other team.

Lurie, of course, said Pederson was the No. 1 choice all along. Pederson will certainly factor into offseason decisions, and perhaps be the loudest voice on what the Eagles will do at quarterback, but it’s all Roseman’s show.

Lurie said in December that senior adviser Tom Donahoe would run the “day-to-day operations” of the personnel department, but the former Steelers executive is based in Pittsburgh. He might have been in Mobile, Ala. for the Senior Bowl last week, but he wasn’t visible during any of the practices.

The Eagles interviewed several candidates for the “personnel head” vacancy. They went after former Buccaneers general manager Mark Dominick first. He has been out of the league for a few years and has worked as an analyst for ESPN. He declined their offer, per sources close to the situation.

Roseman then met with Steelers pro scouting director Brandon Hunt, former Browns vice president of player personnel Morocco Brown and in-house candidate Dwayne Joseph. Any one of those scouts would have had to report to Roseman.

Most scouting contracts are up in May after the draft. The Eagles might feel they have a better chance of getting someone if they wait until then. But didn’t they know that going into the search?

It was a charade, a process once again designed to protect Roseman. His contrite news conference on Jan. 19 – the first time he had spoken in 13 months – now seems even more insincere.
