The Eagles have hired former Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan as a personnel executive, the team announced on Wednesday.
Maccagnan was New Yorkās GM from 2015-2019. The Jets finished with a 10-6 record in Maccagnanās first season in 2015, but then went 5-11 in 2016, 5-11 in 2017 and 4-12 in 2018. He was fired by the Jets after his fourth season.
Maccagnan missed on several draft picks, including first-round linebacker Darron Lee, second-round picks Devin Smith and Christian Hackenberg and third-round picks Lorenzo Mauldin and ArāDarius Stewart. He made a few good decisions, but overall, he did a poor job of building the roster and surrounding a young Sam Darnold with enough talent to succeed in 2018.
After getting fired in 2019, Maccagnan spent the last seven years out of the NFL. The Eagles have decided to give him another chance. He could assist with Philadelphiaās pro and college evaluation process.
