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.
