Andrew Brandt, a sports law professor at Villanova University, and a former NFL agent and Green Bay Packers vice president, has some nice things to say about Howie Roseman, writes Andrew Porter for Newsbreak.

Roseman is the executive vice president and general manager for the Philadelphia Eagles.

A few days ago, Roseman made NFL history by signing Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $225-million contract extension. It’s the highest payment ever made to an NFL quarterback.

“I’m a little biased, I’ve known Howie for—I don’t know, 25, 30 years,” Brandt told the 94WIP Morning Show on Tuesday.

Professional football is a huge business and Roseman brings a competitive advantage, Brandt said.

“Howie has taken advantage of the scouts slash GM over and over again because he comes from the background that, frankly, I came from which is: negotiating, legal, financial, business,“ Brandt said.

“Now, he’s turned himself into a good scout, but when you come from that background, you come in with an advantage—not only in player contracts but in trades and moves around the board and negotiating when you are always a step ahead.”
