This offseason has been loud with so many storylines being pushed by the media regarding the Philadelphia Eagles.

Most of it has been negative, which can be very annoying to the average Eagles fan. There has been a ton of success over the last decade, but the media seems focused on the negative ones that make the franchise look bad.

Three main narratives this offseason are the reason that Eagles fans have headaches watching the media talk about it over and over again.

Jalen Carter needs to be traded

Yeah, let's trade a two-time Pro Bowler in his three-year NFL career. That's smart (sarcasm, of course).

Carter is a top-three defensive tackle in the NFL and has the potential to be a future Hall of Famer for the Eagles. He will be expensive as he will reset the market, but he is too good to get rid of because of character concerns and injuries. Expect a contract extension to be coming soon.

Nick Sirianni is on the hot seat and Howie Roseman does all the work

Quite frankly, this is the most annoying storyline that fans outside of Philly like to use. No one wants to give Sirianni credit, but all the praise goes to general manager Howie Roseman.

While Roseman deserves his credit, Sirianni deserves more respect. He's won nearly 70% of the games he's coached in the regular season and helped this franchise win one of two Super Bowls. Sure, he doesn't always make great in-game decisions and has messed up on coordinator choices, but his aggressiveness on and off the field has paid off with a title win, so the media really needs to stop with that.

Jalen Hurts is not a top 15 quarterback in the NFL

How often have Eagles fans heard this offseason how bad Hurts is as a quarterback? That only seemed to increase after the ESPN story came out, with sources saying that he is uncoachable and changing plays in the huddle. Now the narrative is that he is nowhere close to being a good quarterback.

The reality is that Hurts has made three Pro Bowls, been to two Super Bowls, won one, was Super Bowl MVP, and won over 69% of his regular season starts. Does that sound like the resume of a quarterback who is bad at his job?
