Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby is a candidate for the Miami Dolphins’ GM vacancy, according to a report from NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
The Eagles can’t deny the Dolphins’ request to interview Halaby since he’s interviewing for a role that would clearly be a promotion. The Eagles do have the power to block Halaby from interviewing for lateral positions.
This isn’t the first time Halaby has drawn interest as a GM candidate; he previously interviewed for the New York Jets’
opening last year. As we noted at the time, Philadelphia’s front office is well-regarded around the NFL due to the team’s Super Bowl success. Halaby is viewed as a rising star in part due to his analytics background.
Losing Halaby, who originally joined the Eagles back in 2007, wouldn’t be ideal. But it’s hard to blame the Dolphins for taking a chance on him after inexplicably sticking with Chris Grier from 2016-2025.
The reality is that the Eagles will probably lose Halaby at some point down the road, if not this offseason. It’s up to Howie Roseman to keep the front office stocked with valuable contributors.
