Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has been the source of internal frustration. Will he get traded this offseason?
According to Mike Silver of The Athletic, Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has been the source of much internal frustration.
Per Silver, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni are reluctant to criticize Hurts.
"This is especially true when it's juxtaposed against a sense inside the locker room that the Eagles' powerbrokers (Sirianni, general manager Howie Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie) are reluctant to criticize Hurts," Silver wrote.
"For all that the quarterback has accomplished, including two standout performances on the sport's biggest stage (one of which earned him Super Bowl MVP honors), he has been the source of much internal frustration, including from teammates other than A.J. Brown."
Hurts finished with 3,224 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 421 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns this season. The Eagles lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card game at home.
Philadelphia won the Super Bowl last season with Kellen Moore calling plays. This season, scoring dropped from 27.2 (ranked seventh) to 22.3 (19th) points per game; offensive efficiency dipped from fourth best in the league to 19th; and the rushing attack plummeted from 179 yards per game (2nd) to 116.9 (18th).
The Eagles need a new OC after parting ways with Kevin Patullo. They have been linked to former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll.
Philadelphia is not expected to trade Hurts this offseason, but Brown could be a potential trade target. Brown, who was a huge distraction all season, got into a heated sideline exchange with Sirianni during the 49ers game and had two big drops.
Brown had 78 catches for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in the regular season. He and Hurts weren't on the same page at all.
Brown has been with the Eagles since 2022. He has 339 receptions for 5,034 yards and 32 touchdowns in a Philadelphia uniform.
It will be fascinating to see if the Eagles trade Brown this offseason.
