Howard Roseman (born June 23, 1975) is the executive vice president of football operations for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He was the general manager of the Eagles from 2010 to 2014, and at the time, was the youngest general manager in the NFL, though he now has a new title, his job remains mostly the same.
Roseman was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 23, 1975. He grew up in Marlboro Township, New Jersey, and later graduated Marlboro High School. From an early age, he had a calling to work in football. "When I was 9 or 10 [years old], people would ask what I wanted to be when I grew up and I told them I wanted to be the general manager of an NFL team," Roseman has said.
Roseman began sending letters to all 32 NFL teams while he was still in high school in Marlboro, New Jersey in Monmouth County. His persistence stepped up when he was an undergraduate at the University of Florida through his time at Fordham University School of Law. His job inquiries led him to connect with Mike Tannenbaum, then the pro personnel director of the New York Jets. After an interview, Tannenbaum brought Roseman on as a player personnel intern in 1999.
After another pursuit, Roseman was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as an intern to work on salary cap issues in 2000. He was promoted to director of football administration in 2003 and was later promoted to vice president of football administration in 2006. Roseman continued to climb the Eagles front office ladder, serving as the vice president of player personnel for two years before being named the Eagles general manager on January 29, 2010 after Tom Heckert was hired by the Cleveland Browns in the same role. Although he had the title of general manager, Roseman served mainly in an advisory role to head coach and executive vice president of football operations Andy Reid, who had the final say in football matters.
