Halaby

Halaby had interview requests from the Panthers and Commanders last offseason and is again on the list for teams’ general manager roles. Halaby has spent 17 seasons with the Eagles and just completed his third season as the team’s assistant general manager. According to the Eagles’ team page, Halaby’s time with the team “has focused on player evaluation, roster management, and resource allocation,” three areas the Jets have come up short in recent years. A disciple of Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman feels like a potential home run hire if he the other pieces fall into place. Halaby is one of a handful of candidates to already have interviews setup with the Jets, who spoke with a handful of available candidates before the season concluded.

As NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports, the Panthers are now the second team to request a meeting with Halaby, with the Commanders being the other team. Halaby is in his 16th season with the Eagles and was named assistant general manager prior to the 2022 season. A long-time front office guy who has dealt for years in roster management and player evaluation, Halaby has been a key member of one of the most successful teams of the last decade and could soon find himself at the forefront of an organization looking to rebuild.
