Overview
- The ESPN investigation, published Wednesday, cites unnamed Eagles sources who say Jalen Hurts resisted going under center, changed playcalls at the line too often, and showed poor body language.
- Reports also describe strain with A.J. Brown, including multiple 2025 trade requests by the wideout, and note he is still on the roster as trade talk continues.
- After January’s wild-card loss to the 49ers, Philadelphia fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo and hired former Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion, with a team source saying Hurts is now more open to changes.
- Team performance slid in 2025 as total offense dropped from 8th to 24th and rushing yards fell from 3,048 to 1,908, while Hurts posted 3,224 passing yards with career-low efficiency marks.
- Several outlets note Hurts’ contract could be moved after the 2026 season with manageable cap costs if progress stalls, putting this year’s results and locker-room alignment under closer scrutiny.
