Philadelphia Eagles officially win lopsided A.J. Brown trade with Tennessee Titans
The Philadelphia Eagles have become known around the NFL for being elite at evaluating talent whether it be through the NFL Draft or acquiring superstars via free agency or trades. In fact, general manager Howie Roseman has built a squad that has become the envy of the rest of the league, especially when it comes to selecting top players that fall to Philadelphia in the draft. One of Roseman's most high-profile trades though came back in 2022 when the Tennessee Titans traded away A.J. Brown to the Birds in exchange for a handful of draft picks that included the first-round pick that eventually became wide receiver Treylon Burks. While Brown is still an elite receiver that has elevated the Eagles offense with Jalen Hurts slinging him the ball, Burks was recently released by the Titans after only managing to record one touchdown in his career. Philadelphia has a tendency of rescuing elite players from other teams though, especially on the offensive side of the football. Last season, Roseman and Co. brought in Saquon Barkley from the New York Giants as a free agent and he went on to surpass 2,000 yards in his debut campaign at Lincoln Financial Field.

Hiring for the Future Starts With Rethinking the Role
The Empty Seat: Why the Next Hire Shouldn't Be Who You Lost Hiring for the future is smarter than hiring for the past. On the Talk the Walk podcast, renowned consultant Alan Weiss emphasized that when a key employee leaves, organizations shouldn't rush to fill the same role. 'Don't hire for yesterday's job—hire for tomorrow's needs,' Weiss advised, highlighting a forward-thinking approach to talent acquisition and effective hiring strategies. Unfortunately, most hiring managers take a backward-thinking approach and charge ahead with little thought. This knee-jerk reaction happens when the pressure to act quickly overshadows the need to think strategically. The Shock of the Empty Seat You walk into the office and the news hits: your key player has just resigned. Maybe it was expected, maybe it wasn't—but either way, there's a sudden, undeniable void. You immediately go into stealth mode: post the job, scan the resumes, fill the seat. Fast! After all, the team is already overworked, projects are piling up, and it feels like the business can't afford to wait. Too often, little thought is given as to whether the replacement hire is truly equipped to meet the needs of the company's future. But here's the hard truth: rushing to replace someone with a carbon copy isn't just a missed opportunity—it's a step backward. In a world where yesterday's solutions rarely solve tomorrow's problems, the empty seat isn't just a gap to fill. It's a chance to rethink what your team truly needs next. Why We Default to Backfilling The quickest way to get approval for filling an empty position is to fill the job with the same type of person you lost. You're probably thinking, 'Why rock the boat?' You're comfortable with the status quo. Let's just get this darn job filled! However, there are risks associated with hiring for yesterday's job description. Your team's goals may have changed considerably since you last filled this position, leaving you in the vulnerable position of struggling to hit new targets. You may also wind up spending way more money on a new hire than is necessary. Then there's the cost of missed opportunities when you simply 'replace.' If you don't default to backfilling, you have an opportunity to replace your recent loss with someone who is an expert in the direction that your company is moving in. The Power of Pausing After you've had the opportunity to get over the shock of losing a key player, you may find yourself relieved that you're now able to hire someone who will bring a fresh perspective to the organization. Taking a step back, before rehiring, will allow you to think strategically about your next move. Here are some key questions to ask: How to Hire for Tomorrow, Not Yesterday Hiring for tomorrow means tossing out the checklist of technical skills and past experience. Instead, it's about focusing on adaptability and a growth mindset. You want people on your team who see challenges as opportunities and thrive in an environment of change. Innovators and out-of-the-box thinkers are the way to go here. Involve your team and gather input from stakeholders, with the goal of aligning the new role with strategic priorities. Update job descriptions to reflect these changes. Focus on core competencies like problem-solving, adaptability, resilience, and curiosity. By doing so, you're no longer filling an empty seat—you're building a flexible team that's highly adaptable. The empty seat is an opportunity, not a setback or a burden. Don't look back. You're not going that way—charge forward!
