The Philadelphia Eagles are hiring former Denver Broncos vice president of player personnel Matt Russell, according to a report from The Athletic’s Bo Wulf.
Russell is “expected to serve in a senior personnel role akin to the senior football adviser position Tom Donahoe” held before recently leaving the team. Donahoe was quietly a pretty influential member of the organization, so this seems to be a significant addition.
Russell spent three years in the NFL before transitioning to a scouting career. He got his start with the New England Patriots before joining Philly.
