Daily News | Howie Roseman: Jalen Hurts’ extension is a priority, and the Eagles GM isn’t influenced by Carson Wentz’s contract
Throughout the last few days, Howie Roseman has heard a phrase repeated by Eagles players and coaches that has stuck in the back of his mind.The notion of winning the championship next year can serve as a comfort for an organization still smarting from a last-second loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, but the difficult path to get there begins immediately for the Eagles general manager.
The Eagles’ last experience extending a promising young quarterback eventually backfired. In 2019, they signed Carson Wentz to a four-year extension worth up to $128 million only for the former No. 2 overall pick to unravel the next season and subsequently demand a trade. “I think each example is on its own,” Roseman said. “You got to look at the individual player. That’s not to be critical of anyone we’ve given a contract to that hasn’t worked out, but I think, when we talk about Jalen, we’re talking about a guy that we have tremendous confidence in, a guy that we want to be here for a long time. That will be a priority for us.”
When asked about the urgency of getting Hurts extended before addressing the many upcoming free agents the team has, Roseman acknowledged the next four weeks before free agency begins will be important.
