Howie Roseman Rejects Make-or-Break Narrative for Jalen Hurts

Roseman said the Eagles will judge Hurts by wins and by his 2023 extension through 2028 rather than treating 2026 as a do-or-die year.

Overview

  • Howie Roseman, who spoke on SportsRadio 94WIP Wednesday, said he does not agree that 2026 is a make-or-break season for Jalen Hurts and added, "All the guy does is win football games."
  • Hurts remains under the five-year, $255 million extension signed in 2023 that runs through the 2028 season, a contract the team cites as giving roster and cap stability.
  • Criticism of Hurts rose after an uneven 2025 offense and a 23-19 Wild Card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, when the team showed modest passing numbers and predictability on offense.
  • The Eagles overhauled their offense in the offseason by firing coordinator Kevin Patullo, hiring Sean Mannion, and trading A.J. Brown, moves the team says justify evaluating Hurts in a new scheme before making further contract decisions.
  • Roseman’s public backing shifts the immediate story to how Hurts adapts to Mannion’s system and whether wins return, with team record and playoff progress likely to shape any future extension talks.
