Despite the Eagles’ recent success, it still appears that General Manager Tom Heckert is going to move on.
A league source has confirmed to the Philadelphia Inquirer that Heckert is interviewing with the Cleveland Browns this weekend for their GM job. The Browns had to get permission to talk with Heckert, which the Eagles granted.
While Heckert carries the title of GM for the Eagles, he does not have final say in personnell matters, and is probably looking for a position where he has more say. President Joe Banner and coach Andy Reid have a heavy hand in what goes on with the Eagles. When teams have expressed interest in Heckert before, the Eagles usually promoted him to ensure that he stayed, but last year the team openly supported his bid to be the new GM of the Atlanta Falcons.
