Raiders poach 'highly respected' front office member from Eagles

Hunt originally joined the Eagles in 2022 as the director of scouting and was promoted to his current position last year. Prior to that, he spent time in the Steelers’ scouting department from 2005 to 2006 and again from 2009 to 2022, with a stint at the Texans from 2007 to 2009.

Hunt served as a graduate assistant at Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2004, following a collegiate playing career as a four-year starter at guard and center from 2000 to 2003. He earned a bachelor's degree in management information systems in 2003 and completed a master's degree in business administration in 2006.

In Las Vegas, Hunt will reunite with Anthony Patch, who departed the Eagles last week after 23 years in Philly to become the Raiders’ senior personnel executive.

Patch had served as the Eagles' senior director of college scouting since 2016 before leaving for Vegas. His previous roles with the team included director of college scouting (2012–2015), assistant director of college scouting (2010–2011), West Coast area scout (2003–2009), and college scouting coordinator (2002).

Patch began his NFL career in 2001 as an intern in the Miami Dolphins' personnel department. He played four years as a defensive lineman and linebacker at Carroll College in Helena, Montana, earning a degree in finance before completing his MBA at the University of Montana in 2001.

While losing Hunt and Patch is not ideal, general manager Howie Roseman has a knack for finding quality replacements.
