Back in January, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler wrote a story in which he looked at where various teams were in their rebuilds and roster overhauls and said he believed the Eagles were stuck in QB purgatory with Jalen Hurts.
It’s easy to see how he got there.
Trading for Russell Wilson was always a pipe dream, and Deshaun Watson never wanted to come to Philadelphia (reportedly because he didn’t want to take Hurts’ job). Trading for Matt Ryan, Jimmy G, Kirk Cousins or anyone else never made much sense, as none are really upgrades over Hurts’ potential upside, and the lack of true blue-chip QB prospects in the ‘22 Draft means it’s unlikely GM Howie Roseman will use one of his three first round picks to move up and get one of them.
