Alec Halaby is leaving the Eagles after 17 seasons in the organization, saying on Tuesday that he is stepping away to start a new professional chapter.
Halaby said he was deeply grateful to Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman and credited Lurie’s stewardship with creating a first-class organization. He also called it a rare privilege to help build championship teams for Philadelphia and said football has been a core part of his life for as long as he can remember. “That won’t change,” he said.
His departure closes a long run in Philadelphia that began in 2007, when he joined the club as an intern in football operations. He became a full-time employee in 2010 as a player personnel analyst, then served from 2012 to 2015 as special assistant to the general manager. He spent six seasons from 2016 to 2021 as vice president of football operations and strategy before being promoted to assistant general manager in 2022.
Roseman said Halaby had been a huge part of the Eagles’ success and a close friend, and said he was sad to see him leave. He added that he was excited to see what Halaby does next and had no doubt he would have great success. The praise underscored how central Halaby had become inside the front office, even as he chose to move on after more than a decade and a half in Philadelphia.
In his statement, Halaby said the experience had been enriched by special relationships with front-office colleagues, coaches and players. He ended with a simple sendoff: “It has been a wonderful journey. Go birds.”
