The Philadelphia Eagles have announced the resignation of Alec Halaby, assistant general manager of the team. Halaby, who joined the Eagles in 2007 as an intern, has decided to step away after 17 years with the organization.

Halaby’s tenure included several roles within the Eagles’ personnel department before he was promoted to assistant GM in 2022. In a statement, he expressed gratitude to the organization and its leadership:

"I am deeply grateful to the Eagles organization, especially Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman, for giving me a chance to work in the game I love. Jeffrey's stewardship has created a first-class organization. Howie has been a mentor to me from Day One, for which I am greatly appreciative. It has been a rare privilege to contribute to building championship teams for the city of Philadelphia. The experience has been enriched by a set of special relationships with front office colleagues, coaches, and players. Football has been a core part of my life for as long as I can remember; that won't change. Nevertheless, after 17 years in Philadelphia, I've decided to step away to start a new professional chapter. It has been a wonderful journey. Go Birds."

Halaby was a finalist for multiple general manager positions across the NFL in recent years, though his future plans remain undisclosed. His departure follows the exit of Bryce Johnston, who left the Eagles to join the Atlanta Falcons as senior vice president of football administration and senior personnel executive.
