As it always is, the next Eagles season will be intriguing for more reasons than one.

Philadelphia enters the 2022 offseason with draft capital and money to spend. Howie Roseman will get another shot to build what everyone hopes is a winning roster. Don’t look now, but whether you’re a fan of his or not, there’s some potential with an Eagles team that just made the postseason to conclude the 2021-2022 NFL season.

That’s good for the general manager. There is one more thing you need to consider, however.

3. Don’t be shocked if those QB rumors pick up steam again.

As stated earlier, nothing says ‘win now’ more than the end of a contract extension. The Eagles have proven that they can win with Jalen Hurts. They just haven’t proven that they can beat elite quarterbacks, and here’s something else that you can bet bottom dollar on. The Eagles want one of those elite quarterbacks on their team.

Jalen Hurts can grow into one. The question is this. How patient are the Birds going to be?

Sure, we were told that Jalen’s job is safe, but Howie’s under a microscope. No one plays the ‘it’s him or me’ game better than you know who. If you believe the Eagles won’t pull the plug on the current QB1 if they have a shot at acquiring an elite quarterback or if Jalen struggles quickly, you haven’t been paying attention.

Nine wins and barely speaking into the playoffs may not cut it. Dare we say Howie Roseman is on a much warmer seat? Who’s ready for some football? We most certainly are! Time is flying. You won’t have to wait much longer.
