Jeremy Fowler from ESPN cites sources inside the Eagles organization who believe Jalen Hurts is “not the most coachable” soon after owner Jeffrey Lurie publicly insisted the team needs to make “some significant offensive changes” this season.
Following a disappointing 2025 season where Philadelphia’s offense slumped to No. 17 in EPA per play, Lurie has mandated a “dramatic overhaul” led by head coach Nick Sirianni and new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Philadelphia is strangely going full code red on Jalen Hurts after he regressed to No. 26 in drop-back success rate while drawing internal criticism for being difficult to work with and publicly displaying poor body language.
Sources allege Hurts contributed to a “calcified” offense by resisting scheme diversifications—such as taking more snaps under center—and frequently diverting from established game plans. As Mannion implements these fundamental changes to revitalize the playbook, the Eagles must navigate potential personnel tension to avoid repeating the toxic locker room environment that defined their 2025 season.
Jalen Hurts was crowned Super Bowl MVP less than 14 months ago. Fantasy gamers would be wise to ignore any March/April “news” as Hurts will be under center for the Eagles in 2026 and 2027 (Philly has an out in 2028 for $7.775 million in dead cap). Draft Hurts aggressively in best ball and trade for him in dynasty, especially superflex and 2QB leagues.
