Jalen Hurts' setback could mark end for Eagles – and a new beginning | Opinion
With Jalen Hurts out for the season, the Eagles look headed for the end of an impressive era. But they could also be headed for a needed fresh start.
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman had previously claimed everything was business as usual following the trade of Pro Bowler Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens. However, the team's recent struggles due to quarterback Jalen Hurts' blood clot diagnosis could signal the end of their current era and a new beginning. With Hurts missing the remainder of the season due to deep vein thrombosis and bilateral pulmonary emboli, the lack of a reliable backup has further complicated the situation.
While Roseman remains committed to the Super Bowl-winning squad, trudging ahead might not be a viable option without significant changes. The massive cap hit associated with cutting Hurts outright or releasing him without a post-June 1 designation adds to the complexity of the decision. Regardless, it appears that the Eagles must seriously consider investing in another quarterback, as Hurts' absence has severely hampered the team's offensive capabilities.
