Daily News | Jalen Hurts wants to be a franchise QB. The Eagles are set up to turn him into an NFL experiment.
Jalen Hurts could be at the center of an interesting NFL experiment, though he clearly would rather not acknowledge his role in it. Take Wednesday, for instance. The Eagles made a few of their veteran players, Hurts among them, available to the media, and Hurts was asked whether he had allowed any of the scuttlebutt and chatter and doubts about his long-term future with the team to seep into his mind.Well, yes. Everything for Hurts and the Eagles is good.
Hurts’ situation is different from those, for obvious and less-obvious reasons. McNabb and Wentz were the second-overall picks in their respective drafts, and Vick had been the No. 1 selection before demonstrating, over six seasons with the Falcons, his considerable physical skills and still-untapped promise. Hurts was drafted to be a low-cost backup.
But the very quality that puts Hurts in this awkward position could be a great advantage — to him and to the Eagles. Still on his rookie contract, Hurts will cost $1.643 million against the salary cap this season, according to the onlineOvertheCap.com.
