Pat Moriarty, the team's senior vice president of football operations, has been a key part of the franchise since 1994. A longtime member of the personnel staff, Moriarty was one of the NFL's original "capologists." He oversees the management and strategic planning of the Baltimore salary cap. He has negotiated hundreds of player contracts and works closely with Nick Matteo on the team's salary cap administration, roster management and the day-to-day operations of the player personnel department. Over the course of 27 years, Moriarty has negotiated player contracts totaling over $1 billion. He has worked on the contracts for over 150 draft choices, as well as numerous free agents. He also analyzes draft-day trades each spring. Moriarty works closely with GM Eric DeCosta in many areas, including helping to coordinate the budgets of the scouting, coaching, equipment, football video, training, and strength and conditioning departments. In 2008, Moriarty was part of an eight-member committee to select head coach John Harbaugh.
