Colin Cowherd Feels There Might Be A Problem Signing Jalen Hurts

The Philadelphia Eagles might want to hold off on handing quarterback Jalen Hurts a new contract just yet, Colin Cowherd has claimed.

Philadelphia Eagles: Colin Cowherd expresses major concern over team’s plans for Jalen Hurts

 

The Philadelphia Eagles certainly took a major step forward this season under head coach Nick Sirianni, going from 4 wins in 2020 to 9 wins in 2021 to 14 wins in 2022 and an appearance in the Super Bowl where, although they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, can still feel proud of what they accomplished this season.

 

A large part of their step forward was down to the step forward that quarterback Jalen Hurts took, who had something of a breakout year during his third season in the league, as he improved his pass completion rate, yards per game, passes thrown for touchdowns, passes thrown for interceptions, yards per game and quarterback rating (stats via Pro Football Reference).

 

Not only was he a presence in the passing game, but his legs also caused the opposition some trouble too, so much so that the league almost took measures to stop him and any other team from using the same tactics in the future. The problem is though, that success is going to cost the Eagles as an organisation, as now they are in the window of having to pay him.

 

Some reports are suggesting that the two sides want to get a deal done, but given the way contracts for quarterbacks have gone, when that agreement comes, after the year that he has just had, it isn’t going to be cheap for the Eagles to get him to put pen to paper.

 

And that worries Colin Cowherd.
