The brass is working to hire Lions executive Brandon Sosna to a high-ranking role in the front office, NFL Media’s Mike Garafolo reports.
The team interviewed only a few candidates for the position, according to Garafolo, with Eagles vice president of football administration Jake Rosenberg being one of the others. Rosenberg allowed his contract to expire to pursue other opportunities in and outside of the NFL.
Sosna’s position in the Commanders is unknown.
Sosna, 31, spent the last two years as Detroit’s senior director of football administration. He oversees strategic planning and salary cap management as the team’s lead contract negotiator.
The Lions hired him from USC, where he served for three years as the Trojans’ chief of staff.
Sosna initially entered the NFL with the Browns during the 2017-18 seasons, working as a football administration intern before being elevated to salary cap and contract analyst in 2018. He also served two stints at the University of Cincinnati.
