Cole's Take: Wait on the Extension
NFL insider Jason Cole joined Dan Sileo on Monday with a take that might surprise Eagles fans: he wouldn't rush to extend Jalen Hurts.
Cole's logic is straightforward. The Eagles are installing a new offense. They don't know yet if Hurts will thrive in it. Why commit more money before you have answers? It's a cold, analytical approach — but it's how good franchises operate.
The Counter-Argument
Of course, waiting has risks. If Hurts balls out in 2025, his price goes up. And there's the relationship factor — does waiting on an extension send the wrong message to your franchise QB?
Cole acknowledges those concerns but stands firm. The Eagles need to see what they have before they pay for it.
