After an impeccable run in the regular season and postseason, the Philadelphia Eagles have made a statement. Though the team suffered a disappointing loss to Patrick Mahomes II and the Chiefs in the finals, analysts and athletes believe the team will continue to dominate in the coming years. Jalen Hurts, standing as the main star of the Eagles, will be looking to extend his contract this year. However, if the Eagles need to continue the process, they will have to meet the demands of the MVP candidate, which might be a problem.
Hurts has a solid, rather loyal team around him. His 25-year-old teammate displayed his loyalty, which not only impressed the fans, but also Dwyane Wade‘s wife Gabrielle Union-Wade. The Miami Heat star’s wife has high praise for the Eagles wide receiver.

It’s no wonder Hurts was one of the primary reasons for a successful run last year. In order to receive the commitment from the quarterback, the Eagles might have to make some sacrifices on the contract favoring the main man. While the team is in the talks for finalizing a deal, AJ Brown, wide receiver of the Eagles, made a huge statement to shock the league.
In an interview for the podcast ‘Raw Room’, the 25-year-old mentioned, “I love Philly. And what I’m about to say: You do not pay this man[Jalen Hurts], just ship me off wherever he finna go. Howie get it done!”. Brown has made it clear that he will follow Hurts wherever he goes, showing his loyalty to Jalen Hurts. Howie Roseman, the Vice President of the Eagles needs to satisfy his players now with the extension.
