Did not know there was a rift between Chip and Roseman. This could get interesting.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles released Tom Gamble, their vice president of player personnel, on Wednesday.

The move adds weight to speculation that coach Chip Kelly and general manager Howie Roseman have not seen eye to eye over the last year. Kelly was close enough to Gamble that he made an impromptu trip with him to attend a Navy football game during the Eagles' bye week.

According to a source with knowledge of the Eagles' inner workings, there is a divide among the team's football people. Some are loyal to Kelly and others side with Roseman. The source said Gamble's ouster was a sign that Eagles owner Jeff Lurie was siding with Roseman.

The Eagles announced Wednesday that the team and Gamble "agreed to part ways," though sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen that Gamble was fired.
