Kansas City Chiefs hire Eagles Assistant Director of College Scouting
By Matt Conner
The Kansas City Chiefs have hired away Michael Bradway from the Philadelphia Eagles who had been serving as the Asst. Director of College Scouting.
Now that the 2018 NFL Draft is over, you can expect a surge of behind-the-scenes changes to front offices league-wide. Scouts have finished their responsibilities with their respective teams which means changes that have been in the works or positions that have been open are now able to move forward with business wrapped up.
For the Kansas City Chiefs, at least one move has already happened with the rumored hire of Michael Bradway, the now former Assistant Director of College Scouting for the Philadelphia Eagles. At first, the warning that someone might be after Bradway came on Sunday before news broke through Geoff Mosher.
Hearing changes may be coming to #Eagles as well. Super Bowl success means others come knocking. Asst. Director of College Scouting Michael Bradway a name to watch. Could be on the move. Has been in Philly since '08.

Not long after Stratton’s report, Mosher has word that it wasn’t just a hypothetical move. The Chiefs had indeed struck a deal with Bradway in one of the NFL’s first post-draft moves among execs.
Only a matter of time. #Eagles losing assistant director of college scouting Michael Bradway to position w/Kansas City, per two league sources.

Bradway, who’s been with Eagles for seven years, teams back up with w/Chiefs GM Brett Veach, who came up thru Eagles scouting chain.
Mosher notes the connections already between Bradway and the current Chiefs leadership regime. Bradway began with the Eagles 10 years ago, so he would be well-versed in Andy Reid’s style and schemes, even if he’s been away from Reid himself for the last five years.
The good news is that Bradway has since won a Super Bowl as a member of the Eagles front office and that sort of experience is never a bad thing for a team looking to get over their post-season blues.
Bradway, who will be 33 this summer, has not yet been announced by the Chiefs.
