The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> always seem to be so close to imploding as a franchise, but make no mistake, they still win.<\/p>\n

With the noise around Jalen Hurts at quarterback entering what feels like a defining season, there is a sense that a new contract for the Super Bowl winner might not be forthcoming. That ESPN article really damaged the perception, didn’t it?<\/p>\n

Still, the 2026 season looms as a huge one for the Eagles, and with A.J. Brown likely to be traded to the New England Patriots<\/a> after June 1, that will be one less distraction for the franchise.<\/p>\n

However, another could be coming.<\/p>\n

But CBS Sports’ Mike Renner, when asked which team could take a quarterback early in the NFL Draft, his vote went to the Eagles.<\/p>\n

“Given Jalen Hurts’ escalating cap hits and the offense’s struggles in two of the past three seasons, the Eagles might look to add depth to their quarterback room,” Renner wrote<\/a>. “Tanner McKee has been a great backup, but he’s entering a contract year himself.”<\/p>\n

Could Eagles draft a QB?<\/p>\n

Of course, they could, and if they did, it wouldn’t impact Hurts at all.<\/p>\n

However, we know how quickly things can turn sour in Philadelphia, and if the offense and Hurts start off poorly, calls to bench Hurts will be heard.<\/p>\n

Someone like Carson Beck or Garrett Nussmeier as a late-round pick might not be a bad idea, but they would be purely a developmental quarterback on the Eagles’ roster, not Jalen’s successor.<\/p>\n

Still, we know how this NFL business works, and all it would take is a rough two or three-week stretch before some start asking when the Eagles should look at Beck or Nussmeier.<\/p>\n

So, it could be rather problematic if the Eagles take one, but it could also be problematic if they don’t.<\/p>\n
