After a slew of departures in their front office, the Eagles have reportedly made an executive hire. Philadelphia is adding Charles Walls as their new director of player personnel (Twitter link via ESPN’s Kimberley Martin).
Walls began his NFL tenure with the Packers. Originally joining the team in 2013, he ultimately became a regional scout for them in 2017. His time in that role lasted three seasons, leading him to a promotion from the Browns in 2020.
Walls served as a national scout in Cleveland for the past two years, and his work during that span has again earned him a promotion from an outside team. In Philadelphia, he will replace Brandon Brown, whose role was vacated when he was hired by the Giants as their new assistant general manager. The same is true of Ian Cunningham, who is now in Chicago.
Those two are among numerous losses suffered by Howie Roseman‘s staff. The list of other departures in the front office includes Casey Weidl, Shawn Heinlen, T.J. McCreight and, most recently, Tom Donahoe. This news connects the Eagles and Browns for the second time this offseason, of course; Cleveland has hired former Eagles vice president of football operations Catherine Raiche, reuniting her with Andrew Berry.
With Walls in place, Roseman will have made one of many hires needed this offseason to replace the Eagles’ front office.
