Philadelphia Eagles senior vice president/tertiary football executive Bryce Johnston is leaving Philly to join the Atlanta Falcons as their new senior vice president of football administration/senior personnel executive, according to a report from NFL insider Mike Garafolo.
In Atlanta, Johnston is reunited with former Eagles executive and new Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham. The two overlapped in Philly from 2017-2021.
It’s not unusual to see wide-league front office changes in the immediate aftermath of the NFL Draft each year. In this case, though, it’s unfortunate for the Eagles that they’re losing another talented member of their front office.
Johnston originally joined the Eagles in 2016. Some will remember that before he joined the team, he used to run a website called “EaglesCap.com” that was a great resource for Philadelphia’s salary cap situation. Especially since it existed before the likes of Over The Cap and Spotrac were around.
Johnston seemingly took on a larger role in the organization following the departure of long-time salary cap guy Jake Rosenberg in 2024. It remains to be seen how the Eagles will replace Johnston but Howie Roseman isn’t a stranger to re-stocking Philly’s front office pipeline since it’s commonly been poached.
Congrats to Bryce on moving up in the NFL. The Eagles will miss him.
