The Philadelphia Eagles are indeed losing Andy Weidl to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Just not exactly as expected.
Weidl is joining the Steelers as their new assistant general manager. He’s not getting the full on GM title he interviewed for. That’s instead going to internal candidate Omar Khan as he succeeds Kevin Colbert.
Regardless, Weidl leaving the Eagles is a big deal. Listed at the top of their scouting department on the team’s official website, Weidl served as Philly’s vice president of player personnel since Joe Douglas left to become the New York Jets’ general manager in 2019.
