The Eagles announced today that they have signed general manager Tom Heckert to a contract extension, which will keep him in town through 2011.

The Eagles also promoted Howie Roseman to V.P. of player personnel.

“I feel we have strengthened our personnel staff today by extending Tom’s contract and by promoting Howie Roseman,” said someone in the PR department head coach Andy Reid. “Tom’s leadership and work ethic has continued to impress me over the years. Tom has also done a great job of nurturing and incorporating Howie’s talent into the personnel side of the organization. Howie has demonstrated a sharp eye for talent evaluation along with a knack for creative draft and free agent strategies. Both Tom and I feel Howie will be an excellent addition to the Philadelphia Eagles personnel staff.”
