The Eagles have a solid situation at quarterback and there are plenty of teams in the NFL currently looking for an upgrade or a complete rebuild. - Elite quarterbacks currently run the league and that appears to be Philadelphia’s current conundrum, with Hurts being a pretty good player, that has Eagles’ brass still unsure of his ceiling or ability to develop into a top-8 passer. - ESPN recently looked at which of the 32 NFL teams need to tear it all down and start over or take a new approach in order to move toward contender status. - In the annual overhaul tiers for 2022, Philadelphia is “stuck in quarterback purgatory”, a spot that no team really wants to be sitting. - Take stock of the quarterback position and solidify its future. The lifeless wild-card loss to Tampa Bay raises questions about Jalen Hurts’ 2022 outlook in green. Hurts did an admirable job leading Philadelphia to nine wins and a playoff berth, but his problems against the Bucs — including struggling to see open receivers and bailing from the pocket too early — aren’t new. Philadelphia at least needs to create competition for Hurts. And with GM Howie Roseman’s aggressive mentality, the Eagles are bound to be involved in a few big-game QB talks leaguewide. How could they not be, with three first-round picks (Nos. 15, 16, and 19 overall)? - Eagles GM Howie Roseman had previously talked about Hurts earning the right to be the teams’ starter in 2022 and unless a Russell Wilson trade falls into his lap, the expectation is that Philadelphia will build around the third-year quarterback. - The most logical move for Roseman involves potentially moving a first-round pick in 2022 back into 2023, with hopes of landing Alabama or Ohio State passers. - - List - - 7 potential Eagles targets that stood out the most during the Senior Bowl - - - - - - - - List - - 10 players the Eagles should be most excited to watch at 2022 Senior Bowl - - - - - - - - RelatedJonathan Gannon passed over for Texans job, expected to remain Eagles' DCEagles land at No. 4 in an ESPN ranking of NFL offseason salary cap space, draft picksGiants to hire Eagles' director of player personnel Brandon Brown as new assistant GMEagles to host the Jaguars and new head coach Doug Pederson during 2022 NFL regular season - - - - - - - - - - - - Email - - - - - Sign up - - - - - - - - Like this article? - Sign up for the Eagles Wire email newsletter to get our top stories in your inbox every morning - - - - An error has occured - - - Please re-enter your email address. - - - - - - Thanks for signing up! - - - You'll now receive the top Eagles Wire stories each day directly in your inbox.
