PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Chip Kelly has gained control of the Philadelphia Eagles' player personnel department after Howie Roseman was promoted from general manager to executive vice president of football operations.

The shake-up announced Friday ends speculation about Kelly's future in Philadelphia following a turbulent week that included the dismissal of vice president of player personnel Tom Gamble two days ago.

The 39-year-old Roseman had been the youngest GM in the NFL and held the position for five seasons. He began his career with the Eagles as an unpaid intern in 2000.

Kelly has led the Eagles to consecutive 10-6 seasons. He already had final say on the 53-man roster. Now he'll hire a new personnel executive who will answer directly to him.
