Catherine Raiche‘s NFL rise is set to continue, and the next step will take place in Cleveland. The Browns are set to hire the Eagles executive, according to USA Today’s Jori Epstein (on Twitter).
Previously rising to the role of Eagles vice president of football operations, Raiche is set to work in an assistant GM-type capacity with the Browns, per Epstein. The Browns lost Andrew Berry‘s previous top lieutenant, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, when he became the Vikings’ GM. Raiche has only been in the NFL since 2019 but experience in an assistant GM role, serving in that capacity with the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes in 2017.
Raiche, 33, interviewed for the Minnesota job Adofo-Mensah landed. The Eagles promoted the young exec to the VP of football ops role in May 2021, making her the highest-ranking female exec at that point. With the Browns, she will still hold that distinction. Raiche worked with Berry in 2019, when the current Browns GM worked as the Eagles’ VP of football ops. After rising to the role Berry vacated, Raiche is set to play a significant role in Cleveland.
The Eagles have lost a few key personnel staffers this offseason. Both Ian Cunningham and director of player personnel Brandon Brown left for jobs with the Bears and Giants, respectively, during the winter. The Eagles also fired college scouting director Casey Weidl earlier Wednesday.
get it grrrrl
This is great PR.
She’s a highly regarded executive and Andrew Berry worked with her in Philly. This has nothing to do with Watson.
If you think Raiche was hired having anything to do with Watson, I have two suggestions. One, try getting your information from more than one or two sources all the time. Two, you’re currently part of the problem, not the solution.
GM.FACTORY
hell yeah, let’s get her hired somewhere to get compensatory pickssssss
If she left Montreal knowing Johnny Manziel would soon be arriving, she must have some intelligence.
Weird that the Casey Weidl article is not under the Eagles and is closed for comments but this one isn’t. What could possibly go wrong in a post about a largely unknown scouting director being canned?
Frank Olivo: “What could possibly go wrong being Santa Claus at an Eagles game?”
What one would expect when a sloppy looking drunken Santa stumbles out of the stands in front of a pissedoff fan base angry at their team for losing.
50 plus years ago. Give it up.
Philly fans will always hear about Santa and what horrible fans TJ why are, but ask any player (that actually put on the effort) how their time in the city was and they’d say they loved the fans. Also, some snowballs got thrown at a drunken Santa, but nobody talks about the many incidents that have occurred in the many other venues. Show up at a game in Cali wearing the wrong jersey and you might get curb stomped and left laying there comatose. Every fan base has had bad incidents, but the snowball incident is old and stale, move on already.
She’s 33 and there are 10000 more qualified men and women who put in the time.
