The Eagles are focused on cleaning up old contracts and offering bonuses to escape the cap rules.
That’s just the way GM Howie Roseman has done business, and he has proven to be a master capologist.
So, what about QB Jalen Hurts?
Veteran Boston Globe NFL reporter Ben Volin recently had the following to say:
Hurts and the Eagles declined to talk about a contract extension following the Super Bowl loss, but don’t be surprised if he has a new deal before the Combine starts in a week and a half.
Prior to the Super Bowl, the Eagles had already approached veterans about redoing deals to make space for Hurts.
The Combine starts on Tuesday, February 28.
Having an agreement figured out by then would give the Eagles more time to map out their free agent approach before the NFL’s negotiating window opens on March 13.
The new league year then officially begins at 4:00 PM Eastern on March 15.
