The Eagles are willing to do whatever it takes to win another Super Bowl. And quarterback Jalen Hurts might not be a part of that equation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s led to a strong sense around the league that, as difficult as it can be to find a calibre of quarterback who can win big in the postseason, the Eagles will be willing to do whatever is possible if need be,\u201d La Canfora wrote. \u201cThere is a chance that a two-time MVP like Lamar Jackson becomes available in trade, and the 2027 quarterback draft class is earning strong early reviews, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"788\" height=\"570\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-4-2026-Steelers-v-Ravens-7200.jpg\" alt=\"Pittsburgh Steelers QB Lamar Jackson\" class=\"wp-image-161954\"  \/>Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson during a game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 4, 2026. \u2014 Ed Thompson \/ Steelers Now<\/p>\n<p>Former Steelers quarterback <a href=\"https:\/\/steelersnow.com\/tag\/ben-roethlisberger\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ben Roethlisberger<\/a> is not high on the trajectory of the Ravens. Despite being the Super Bowl favorites at the beginning of last season, the Ravens finished 8-9 and missed the playoffs.<\/p>\n<p>Roethlisberger believes the Super Bowl window for the Ravens has closed. If that is the case, Jackson leaving Baltimore certainly could be in the cards. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think they\u2019re falling apart.
