ESPN report reveals concerns about Eagles QB Jalen Hurts’ future with team

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ long-term future with the team could be in question entering the 2026 season, according to a new ESPN report . According to ESPN, Hurts stands at a crossroads with the organization due to the issues with the passing game over the last two years and his role in it. Sources who spoke to ESPN also said that Hurts had poor body language last year and was distant from his teammates.

The story revealed Hurts pushed back on changes that would diversify Philadelphia’s scheme, including going under center more. Hurts was also criticized for not throwing in tight windows against zone coverage, making changes to the game plan and checking out of play calls when it was not needed. Philadelphia’s team total wins line is set at 10.

Now, the Eagles are banking on new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion to challenge Hurts to expand his game in a new scheme, which is expected to resemble the offenses of Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. According to the report, Hurts will have to adapt to cement his future in Philadelphia. If the Eagles’ passing game struggles again next year under another new offensive coordinator, could the Eagles consider moving on from Hurts and find a new starting quarterback?
