The Philadelphia Eagles Will Trade Jalen Hurts to the Las Vegas Raiders
Howie Roseman is an elite general manager at the NFL level. Time and time again, he performs “salary cap gymnastics” to put the best possible talent on the field for the Philadelphia Eagles. While these moves might seem brilliant in the present moment, the dollars spent always have to be accounted for eventually. The Jalen Hurts contract was a huge signing. The five-year, $255 million deal remains one of the largest contracts ever for an NFL athlete. Signing Hurts to an extension made sense when Roseman put together the offer. But after a disappointing end to last season, is it time for the Eagles to think about their future plans? If so, a Jalen Hurts trade would provide them with cash and salary cap relief, which they could use to extend more of their homegrown talent.
