Would the Philadelphia Eagles Let Jalen Hurts Walk?

The Philadelphia Eagles seem to be at a crossroads as a franchise right now. An interesting spot to be in, considering that this is a team that has been to two Super Bowls in the last four years and has won one of those.

Last season, fresh off the franchise's first Super Bowl, while technically successful with an NFC East title, was riddled with turmoil and ended unceremoniously in the first round to a severely undermanned San Francisco 49ers team.

They entered this offseason with a lot of questions and found even more after losing key defensive pieces in free agency, like Reed Blankenship, Nakobe Dean, and Jaelan Phillips. That's not to even mention the pre-existing AJ Brown drama that has yet to be resolved. 

Last week, it got even worse. A leak within the organization opened the floodgates for a damning story to be released regarding franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts. After some of the latest reporting from Eagles reporter Jeff McLane, it's gone from bad to worse for Hurts regarding his future in Philadelphia.

On Friday, it was reported by Jeff McLane of The Inquirer that, among other things, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie currently has no intentions of signing quarterback Jalen Hurts to a contract extension until his play improves. 

As previously mentioned, this news is fresh off the bombshell report from Jeremy Fowler that Hurts has reportedly been an 'issue' for the organization, stating things like poor body language, a reluctance to schematic changes, and not being coachable.

Now, even more has come out thanks to McLane. The Eagles had enough to figure out, but now, could one of the most important positions on the field be up in the air following this next season?

The former Super Bowl MVP technically has three more years on his contract, but 2026 is the last season that's fully guaranteed, and the organization is watching closely. 

A source told McLane, "He knows it's the last year of his guaranteed contract. He knows the cat is out of the bag on some of his baggage. He knows he has to produce. You can't be near the bottom of the league in passing two years in a row with the amount of talent we have. It's not acceptable."

With a new offensive coordinator and last season needing to be made up for offensively, the Eagles already had enough on their plate on that side of the ball. Now the guy leading their offense will have one more thing in the back of his mind. 

This news breaking now could possibly have something to do with how stacked this upcoming 2027 quarterback class is, but for the Eagles and Jalen Hurts sake, it would be better for both parties if he had a career year next season.
