Eagles offseason obstacles coming into focus after Super Bowl win - ESPN

PHILADELPHIA — On Sunday night in New Orleans, Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was a man fully immersed in the moment.

His arms raised and a cigar tucked between his index and middle finger on his right hand, Roseman — wearing a blue dress shirt and navy sports coat — danced his way into the middle of the locker room. Players formed a circle around him and let out a «Hey!» every time the beat reset and their GM shifted in rhythm.

Soon, he was fitted with a silver chain with a large, blinged-out replica of an Eagles helmet dangling from it. The rest of the evening he circled the room — the normal look of concentration washed away from his face — looking to squeeze every last bit of joy out of the Eagles' Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs, the second Lombardi Trophy he has delivered to a city that previously had none.

It was a rare instance where the 49-year-old architect could focus on the here and now. The day before the team left Philadelphia for New Orleans, Roseman offered a peek inside a mind that has no choice but to live nearly constantly in the future.

«It's all I think about all the time,» Roseman told a group of reporters inside the auditorium at the team's practice facility. «I'm thinking about what we're going to do next year in August. I'm thinking about what 2026 looks like and 2027 looks like every night when I go to bed. It doesn't really change.

»I think that's my role, to enjoy the team on Sundays but the rest of the week I'm thinking about the next year.
