Eagles news: Here’s what Jalen Hurts extension might look like
Imagine being an NFL reporter (if you aren’t one already). Now, imagine you’re waiting on the announcement of the Philadelphia Eagles‘ decision to extend Jalen Hurts. You know it’s coming. You just don’t have any ideas about when it’s going to occur. As a result, every time you venture away from home, there’s this feeling that you may miss the announcement.
You’re hanging out with the significant other at dinner. They’re aggravated that you keep checking your phone. Some days you miss lunch because let’s face it. We’ve all been interrupted while trying to make decisions in the cereal aisle. Raise your hand if trips to the grocery store have been cut short by an Eagles signing or some significant move.

Thank goodness for our friends over at Spotrac and Over The Cap. They’re just as interested in this as we are, and recently, they gave us all a golden nugget to chew on.
