Patience Is the Play

Big Z joined Dan Sileo on Monday's NFS with a prediction: the Eagles will NOT extend Jalen Hurts this summer. Originally, he thought it would happen. Now? He's changed his mind.

The reason is simple. The Eagles want to see Hurts in the new West Coast offense before committing more money. They're taking a patient approach, and honestly? It makes sense.

Next Summer Is the Target

If Hurts has a strong 2025 — adapts to the new system, stays healthy, leads the team deep into the playoffs — expect the extension to come next summer. The Eagles aren't in any rush, and they shouldn't be.

This is Howie Roseman operating exactly how you'd expect: calculated, patient, data-driven. Love it or hate it, that's how the Eagles do business.

Why Tanner McKee's Regression Raises a Bigger Eagles Coaching Question

Tanner McKee suddenly looks less decisive in an offense that is asking him to learn another system. Before reducing the change to talent, the Eagles must determine whether their quarterback-development process is giving him clear and repeatable answers.

Why Tanner McKee's Regression Leaves Andy Dalton Firmly Ahead at Eagles QB2

Tanner McKee's hesitation has turned Philadelphia's backup-quarterback competition into a question of trust. Andy Dalton remains the clearest option because the Eagles need steadiness behind Jalen Hurts, not another projection.
