Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman recently offered a clear and affirming assessment of quarterback Jalen Hurts as questions continue to swirl about the star’s long-term future with the franchise.
Hurts’ current contract is set to lose its guarantees after the 2026 season. Without a new extension in place, that timeline has fueled speculation across the league.
Some observers have urged the Eagles to lock him up this summer if they intend to keep him as the face of the organization. Others interpret any delay as a possible sign that the front office is still evaluating whether Hurts is the definitive long-term answer under center.
When asked about the state of the “process” surrounding Hurts, Roseman did not dodge the subject. Speaking with Kay Adams on the Up & Adams show, he painted a picture of a player the organization knows thoroughly and respects deeply.
“I think when you’re around somebody for as long as you’ve been around, you got a pretty good feel for who the person is, who the player is, and at the same time, just like I’m talking about improving, he’s looking to improve in all aspects, and obviously he’s been thrown a lot of different offense coordinators at him, and he hasn’t blinked,” Roseman said.
He continued, emphasizing the qualities that define Hurts both on and off the field.
“I think that’s what’s impressive. And we talked about what it means to be an Eagle: overcome adversity. I mean, the guy continually overcomes adversity,” Roseman added. “He constantly has doubters, constantly has to reprove himself every year, and never complains about it. You know, he just puts his head down and goes to work. I think that’s a great example of what we’re looking for in everyone in this building.”
Those remarks stop short of announcing an imminent contract extension, yet they leave little doubt about Roseman’s confidence in Hurts’ character and work ethic.
The general manager also acknowledged that the Eagles as a whole remain a work in progress.
With a new offensive coordinator now in place, the organization appears content to let the upcoming season unfold before making any definitive long-term decisions.
After a difficult 2025 campaign, expectations in Philadelphia are high once again. How Hurts performs under the new scheme will likely shape the next chapter of negotiations.
For now, Roseman’s public comments signal that the quarterback remains firmly in the team’s plans heading into his seventh season, even as the clock on his current deal continues to tick.
