Eagles Promote Adam Berry To Assistant GM, Add Mike Maccagnan To Staff

Following Alec Halaby‘s decision to leave his assistant general manager post with the Eagles, the team has made moves to solidify that tier under longtime front office boss Howie Roseman.

The team extended assistant GM Jon Ferrari and has since announced Adam Berry‘s promotion to the AGM level. The twin brother of Browns GM (and ex-Eagles exec) Andrew Berry, Adam will move from vice president of football operations and strategy into Halaby’s old post. This is among the promotions and hires unveiled by the team Wednesday.

The most notable staff addition in Philly comes via a Mike Maccagnan hire. Maccagnan, the Jets’ GM from 2015-19, is joining the Eagles as a personnel executive. Maccagnan, 58, has not held an NFL role since the Jets fired him following the 2019 draft. He carries 25-plus years of NFL experience, however, and will join Joe Douglas as ex-Jets GMs on Roseman’s staff.

Douglas’ New York GM predecessor oversaw five Jets drafts, including first-round picks of Leonard Williams, Jamal Adams, Sam Darnold and Quinnen Williams, but was unable to stop the franchise’s playoff drought. Douglas followed suit, compounding the Jets’ QB trouble by trading Darnold and attempting to build around Zach Wilson. Rumors of a power struggle between Maccagnan and then-new Jets HC Adam Gase emerged when the team moved on, and Gase helped the Jets bring in Douglas.

Prior to his 2015 Jets hire, Maccagnan spent 15 years on the scouting side with the Texans. He finished that tenure by serving four years as the team’s college scouting director. This run included the team’s J.J. Watt draft choice. Prior to being in on the ground floor in Houston, Maccagnan spent seven years as a Washington scout.

In his second stint with the Eagles, Douglas will rise from the scouting level to senior VP of player personnel. This notable title bump comes after the Falcons interviewed the six-year Jets GM this offseason. Douglas is back in a familiar role, having served as the team’s VP of player personnel from 2016-19 — ahead of his Jets GM ascent. Roseman rehired Douglas in May 2025.

Alan Wolking will slide from director of player personnel to VP of football ops and strategy. Wolking has been with the Eagles since 2011, when Roseman and Andy Reid were working together to lead the operation. Phil Bhaya, who is moving from player personnel director to VP of player personnel, has been with the team since 2014.

Jeremy Gray, whom the Eagles hired in 2022, is moving from assistant director of player personnel to director of that department. Lee Divalerio, who had served on the scouting level previously, is rising to assistant director of pro scouting. Divalerio has been with the Eagles since 2017. The Eagles are also elevating Preston Tiffany (to southwest area scout) and hiring Caspian Svenson as a pro scout.

As for Berry, he has made a major climb in just three years in football. A longtime Goldman Sachs staffer, Berry joined the Eagles in 2023 as their director of football operations and strategy; this came three years after the Eagles saw then-staffer Andrew land the Browns’ GM gig. Adam, 39, has never worked with his brother in the NFL.

This rise, however, figures to place the less experienced Berry twin on the GM radar. The Eagles have regularly lost talent in their front office, with the 2022 offseason seeing four Roseman lieutenants — Ian Cunningham, Catherine Hickman, Brandon Brown, Andy Weidl — all leave for AGM roles elsewhere (Cunningham has since been hired as Falcons GM). Less turnover has ensued in recent offseasons, however, and Roseman will turn to Berry and Ferrari as his right-hand men moving forward.
