When it comes to Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, there is no one in sports right now who can compare to how good he is.
Many believe Roseman stands on his own as the best GM not only in the NFL, but in sports. NBC Sports writer Patrick Daugherty ranked Roseman as the number one general manager in the league, and while his explanation is long, he's on point with what he said.
"Sometimes a fact becomes so obvious, no one bothers saying it out loud. This is where I point out Howie Roseman is already a Hall-of-Famer. Having long since outlasted Andy Reid and Chip Kelly, Roseman has gone on to achieve one of the most difficult feats in professional sports: Winning a championship with two different cores. Even more rare for the NFL, he has done it with both different coaches and quarterbacks. If the Nick Foles/Doug Pederson season was the fairy tale, the Jalen Hurts/Nick Sirianni title was the legacy-cementer. Those accomplishments coming just seven years apart feels almost impossible in the NFL, but speak to Roseman’s greatest strength: He never wallows in a mistake for long. It didn’t matter that Carson Wentz was the No. 2 overall pick. It was irrelevant that Pederson won a Super Bowl. They were no longer the right fit for Roseman’s roster, so he moved on to greener pastures. Of course, you can only cut your losses if you bank plenty of gains. Roseman is the league’s best overall drafter, excelling both in Round 1 and on Days 2 and 3. He’s a willing trade partner, paying up for players like A.J. Brown and Jaelan Phillips while being unafraid to acquire bounce-back fliers. He’s an adept free agency spender, making signings like Saquon Barkley and Zack Baun. There is no such thing as a perfect general manager, but Roseman is as close as the NFL gets in 2026."
Howie Roseman still rules are topped rank GM in the NFL
After the Seattle Seahawks won the Super Bowl last season, many people called for John Schneider to be named the best GM in the NFL. With a few months passed, cooler heads have prevailed, and Roseman takes his spot on the throne.
There's no one in the NFL who has done the draft better than Roseman, and he can work a trade better than any GM in sports. Where he thrives the most is his ability to work the salary cap in the Eagles' favor without breaking the rules.
