_Eagles’ Howie Roseman Has a Saquon Barkley-Like Move Up His Sleeve, Says NFL GM_
Philadelphia Eagles General Manager Howie Roseman has a reputation for being one of the most aggressive and savvy front office executives in the NFL. According to one NFL General Manager, Roseman has a major move up his sleeve that could potentially land the Eagles a player comparable to Saquon Barkley.
The NFL GM, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, believes that Roseman is planning to make a bold move to trade up in the draft and select a top-tier running back. The GM cited Roseman’s history of making aggressive moves to acquire top talent, including the trade for quarterback Carson Wentz in 2016.
“Howie is a master of manipulating the draft board,” the GM said. “He’s always looking for ways to get ahead of the curve and land the players he wants. I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a plan in place to trade up and get a top running back in this year’s draft.”
The GM pointed to the Eagles’ current running back situation, which is led by Miles Sanders, as a potential area of need. While Sanders has been a solid contributor, the GM believes that Roseman may be looking to upgrade the position with a more dynamic player.
“Saquon Barkley was a game-changer for the Giants when they drafted him,” the GM said. “I think Howie is looking for a similar impact player at running back. He’s got the assets to make a move, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he pulls the trigger on a trade to get his guy.”
While the GM’s comments are speculative, they do highlight Roseman’s reputation as a shrewd and aggressive operator in the NFL. If the Eagles do indeed make a move to trade up and select a top running back, it would be a classic Roseman move.
