Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora
Eagles announce hiring of Tom Gamble from 49ers as VP of personnel. Big move to boost their talent evaluation.

Matt Maiocco ‏@MaioccoCSN
The 49ers granted the Eagles permission a year ago to interview Tom Gamble. The deal finally happened.

Albert Breer ‏@AlbertBreer
Gamble's father Harry was team president of the Eagles back in the day.

SOB. That is big!

Isn't that the same position he had here?

"@AdamSchefter: Eagles name Tom Gamble Vice President of Player Personnel."> very well-respected... Surprised SF let him out before FA/Draft

He was director of player personnel here...seems pretty lateral, he must have wanted to move back to the east coast.

It's very rare to see a team allow one of their personnel execs to leave during this time of yr. They possess a ton of valuable info

obviously the niners didnt value him that much.

f**k the eagles

Big deal.

phaggot ass eagles and chip kelly

Wtf...Didn't he hold the same title here? Must be an east coast guy, or they gave him a pay raise to make a lateral move like that. I didn't think he was going to leave after all the GM spots filled up.

I don't think it's as big a deal as people think. They gave him permission to talk with them a long time ago so they couldn't be that worried about him leaving. The reason is that they are reported to have a very good scouting organization and the thinking is that someone from that group will be promoted from within.

a minor hit to our F.O ....I'd be s**ttng bricks if we lost Baalke though, our most brilliant mind in the front office since Carmen Policy

Oh well it was inevitable that he was going to leave
