Eagles HC Nick Sirianni offers glowing endorsements of Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown
We probably don't have to catch many of you up on what has transpired since time ran out on a humiliating defeat suffered by the Philadelphia Eagles at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round of the most recent NFL Playoffs. The rumors have been constant, and they seem to become more messy as we dig deeper into the offseason.
Is A.J. Brown a diva? Should we be dissatisfied with Jalen Hurts' leadership style? How bad are things in Philly's locker room? What is it that Nick Sirianni does again? Is Haason Reddick going to continue to be a part of this team or not?
The Birds are in Indianapolis at Lucas Oil Stadium for the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine. Eagles Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni spoke with the media.

There's nothing wrong with Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown's leadership styles, so says Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni.

Here's your update. There's nothing wrong with Jalen Hurts or A.J. Brown's leadership styles. The culture is fine. We even heard Nick's opinion of Haason Reddick and his desire for an extension.
Check out some of the highlights below.
There you have it. We should move on now. Though something tells us that we won't.
Something tells us these conversations will extend over into the NFL Combine workouts and beyond, but regardless of what's being reported, the Eagles continue to provide a united front. That's all you can ask for.
