Plauderecke » Gamble is free to pursue opportunities as a general

PHILADELPHIA - The Eagles and vice-president of player personnel Tom Gamble parted ways Wednesday in a surprise move just days after a disappointing finish.Gamble is free to pursue opportunities as a general manager or front-office executive with other teams. The Bears and Jets have vacancies at GM.We thank Tom for his service over the past two seasons and wish him and his family the best as they move forward, Eagles GM Howie Roseman said in a statement released Wednesday. I appreciate all Tom has done for our scouting department and our team.Gamble joined the Eagles during the 2013 off-season after eight years with the San Francisco 49ers front office.His father, Harry Gamble, was a former GM in Philadelphia.Eagles coach Chip Kelly praised Gambles work as a talent evaluator earlier this week. He also said he would support him if he had an opportunity to go elsewhere.I think Tom does an outstanding job and if he has the opportunity to do that, then I would support him in anything, Kelly said Monday. And if I can give him any help in that situation I would. But hes a heck of a football guy.In the same interview, Kelly was asked about his working relationship with Roseman.His one-word reply good fueled speculation that there may be some tension between the two men.Kelly made it clear he has final say on roster decisions and praised Roseman for his expertise with contracts and the salary cap.Roseman, the youngest GM in the NFL at age 39, just completed his fifth season as GM. He began his career with the Eagles as an unpaid intern and was hired in 2000 as a salary-cap expert.Roseman has worked hard on scouting and takes pride in knowing personnel. He was responsible for the 2012 draft after owner Jeffrey Lurie told then-coach Andy Reid to step back. The Eagles had a successful draft that year, landing defensive end Fletcher Cox, quarterback Nick Foles, linebacker Mychal Kendricks, defensive end Vinny Curry and cornerback Brandon Boykin in the first four rounds.The last two drafts since Kelly was hired havent panned out, but its too early to judge.The Eagles missed the playoffs after a 9-3 start, losing three straight games in December. They ended up 10-6 for the second year in a row, though they won the NFC East in 2013.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.organd AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP_NFL___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP_RobMaaddi Air Max Black Friday 2019 .

Prosecutors countered that they can show Hernandez was with Odin Lloyd when he was shot and that Lloyds killing was part of a pattern of Hernandez committing acts of violence following nightclub disputes. Also Monday, the former tight end pleaded not guilty to charges that he attacked a handcuffed inmate and threatened to kill a guard and his family while at a county jail in Dartmouth. Hernandez faces murder charges in Lloyds June 17, 2013, slaying, as well as a separate case in which he is accused of gunning down two men in Boston in July 2012. He has pleaded not guilty in each case and is being held without bail. Judge E. Susan Garsh will rule at a later date on the motions to dismiss the Lloyd murder charge and to suppress certain evidence gathered by the state, including cellphone records and surveillance video from dozens of cameras at Hernandezs North Attleborough home. The judge on Monday also floated a possible trial date of Oct. 6, and she set a July deadline for the New England Patriots to respond to the defences requests for access to the football teams personnel records. Hernandez defence attorney James Sultan called the prosecutions evidence "woefully lacking" and maintained that the state has yet to suggest a specific motive for Lloyds killing. "Theres certainly a lot of what I would call smoke. No doubt about it," Sultan said. "But you cant throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and say, Well, thhats good enough.ddddddddddddThats not probable cause that he committed the crime." Prosecutor William McCauley countered that the state has "powerful" evidence against Hernandez. In what amounted to a preview of the states arguments, he said toll booth, surveillance, GPS and cellphone records clearly place Hernandez in the car with Lloyd at the time of his murder. McCauley said the states evidence also shows Hernandez had the "presence, knowledge and intent" to see the murder to its completion. Prosecutors also suggested incidents in Boston, Providence and Miami show a "common pattern" of violence by Hernandez following disputes at nightclubs. But Hernandezs lawyers pushed back against that notion, saying it was part of a persistent attempt to trash Hernandezs character. They criticized prosecutors for their focus on his "affinity for guns," his drug use and past run-ins with law enforcement. Lloyd had been at a Boston nightclub with Hernandez and others days before his bullet-ridden body was found about a half mile from Hernandezs North Attleborough home. Prosecutors in Boston have said a spilled drink in a nightclub led Hernandez to kill two people in a drive-by shooting. Another Hernandez associate, Alexander Bradley, has filed a civil lawsuit alleging Hernandez shot him in the face on Feb. 13, 2013, after they argued following a visit to a Miami strip club. Dressed in a blue blazer and khaki dress pants, Hernandez sat passively through Mondays nearly three-hour court hearing, one of the longest since his arrest last year. His mother and other supporters sat in the audience, as did Lloyds mother and others. ' ' '
