Owner Wants Eagles To Build Around Jalen Hurts

[RealGM Wiretap]

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie has instructed the team to build around Jalen Hurts as opposed to creating a true quarterback competition in 2021, according to sources.

Hurts is currently the only quarterback the Eagles have under contract after they traded Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts last month. The transaction will become official when the league year begins on March 17.

Philadelphia has the No. 6 pick in this year\'s draft.

Considering they're tanking the year, seems only fair to just anoint Hurts the starter for the year. Will also help the tank.

No he won't. Also they seem to be tanking this year. Eagles are putting half their team on the trade block.
