The Eagles yesterday announced that Andrew Brandt, a former Green Bay Packers vice president, has been hired as a consultant in the areas of player contract negotiations and salary cap management.
Brandt now lives in Philadelphia and is teaching a sports law class at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. He also founded the football Web site, nationalfootballpost.com.

Brandt will assist team president Joe Banner in negotiations and salary-cap matters at least through August. He is replacing Howie Roseman, who is shifting to the personnel side of football operations.

 FO until fairly recently had somebody listed on their website under the job heading of "capologist." I don't remember his name but apparently he's gone, so maybe this guy is also taking some of that work.

I didn't get called back for the Salary Cap Admin position.  I think my salary requirements were a little high.

you have to lower your demands in these tough economic times altho you probably know way to much abut the position for the eagles to hire you anyway

Jeff Lurie's porfolio is hurting and needs love.

Heckert expected to join the Browns soon

In a move that won't surprise many, Eagles G.M. Tom Heckert is expected to soon join the Browns in the same role.  Per multiple reports, Heckert interviewed for the job earlier this week.

The move, on the surface, is a bit surprising.  Since Holmgren has final say in Cleveland, final say can't be given to Heckert, and thus the Eagles can block the move.

But the Eagles are willing to let Heckert walk.  By all appearances, they'd let Heckert leave even before the team's season ends, assuming the Eagles beat the Cowboys on Saturday night.

Making the stance less curious is the reality that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie recommended Heckert to the Falcons two years ago for the G.M. job.

Last year, Heckert was a candidate to be hired by the Browns for the same position.  The thinking was that he'd get the job as part of a package deal including then-Giants defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo as head coach.

Though the Heckert has never been on the hot seat in Philly, there's a perception that the team has a few too many chefs, given the ascension of Howie Roseman to the position of V.P. of player personnel, which caused many to believe that Roseman is the true No. 2 behind coach Andy Reid.  So it makes sense for the Eagles to thin out the front office a bit, which explains why Lurie recommended Heckert to the Falcons in 2008.

If Heckert leaves and Roseman takes his job it will be an absolute disgrace. He's a farging accountant.

Get a real personnel guy in here.

Banner's a bean counter too.

banner's primary function is to do just that.....manage the cap.  the problem is that for whatever reason, lurie thinks that qualifies him to determine a player's value.
