A key member of the Philadelphia Eagles' front office announced his exit on Tuesday.

Assistant general manager Alec Halaby is stepping down after 17 years with the organization. The Eagles shared Halaby's statement on social media.

"I am deeply grateful to the Eagles organization, especially [Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie] and [GM Howie Roseman], for giving me a chance to work in the game I love," Halaby said. "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."

"Alec has been a huge part of our success"

Halaby joined the Eagles as an intern in 2007 while enrolled at Harvard. He moved up the ladder until becoming Roseman's assistant GM in 2022.

The Eagles have won two Super Bowl titles during Halaby's tenure and made the playoffs in eight of the last nine seasons. As a result, the analytically minded executive has garnered interest across the NFL.

Halaby interviewed for the New York Jets' GM position last year, having previously pursued the same role with the Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders.

The Eagles also shared a classy farewell message from Roseman to his longtime confidant.

"Alec has been a huge part of our success and a close friend," Roseman said. "Although I am said to see him leave the organization, I am excited to see what he does next. Whatever direction he decides to go, I have no doubt he is going to have great success. On behalf of the entire organization, I wish him the absolute best."
