Ryan Grigson, the Eagles director of player personnel, has been hired as the Colts general manager, the Colts announced Wednesday.

ESPN first reported the development Wednesday morning.

Grigson would take the GM job a team facing huge decisions, with the number one pick in April's draft and a choice to make on franchise quarterback Peyton Manning.

Grigson, 39, became the Eagles director of player personnel in 2010 after spending four years as the team's director of college scouting. He helped scout top college players and NFL free agents. He previously worked with the Rams.

So Roseman's under-ling goes to Indy with the chance to catch a monster wave. 'Luck-y" guy.

Addition by subtraction. If that guy scouted Graham and Jarrett, later Ryan. Indy's gonna love you, at least in the back half of the draft.

It would have been better news if they took our GM and not his assistant, just sayin'...

The Colts must be very stupid to take someone from the Eagles front office. Must not know "how inept" the organization is.

We have the O-line and D-line running attack and quality receivers to complement Manning's skills

Excellent, perhaps the Eagles can use this opportunity to add another bean counter/lawyer/fantasy football guy to their front office. You can never have enough of them.

Either Howie didn't listen to him or the Colts are suckers!

Maybe he scouted McCoy. Or Maclin. Or DeSean. Maybe the people who make a living in the NFL actually respect the Eagles front office.

No, that can't be true. The pipe-fitters and dumptruck drivers who post here must know better.
