Daily News | Carson Wentz could influence Howie Roseman and the Eagles’ contract negotiations with Jalen Hurts
PHOENIX – Howie Roseman was correct when he pointed out that Carson Wentz and the offense played a significant role in theThe general manager was responding to a question on Monday at the NFL owners meetings about learning from the lessons of the three-year slide following the Super Bowl, especially as it relates to bringing back older players.
“It’s fair to say that Jalen’s in the last year of his deal. We want him here long term and that’s going to be a priority,” Roseman said. “And so, when we’re looking at this free agency period, we know the dynamics of our cap are going to have to change at some point. Wentz didn’t receive his extension until the 2019 offseason. Even though he was coming off his second straight season-ending injury, few argued against Roseman’s choice to lock up the former first rounder three years into his NFL career.
Roseman’s major moves at the position since have been first round blockbusters – drafting DeVonta Smith in 2021 and trading for A.J. Brown in 2022. Those hits along with the GM’s continued investment in the offensive line had almost as much to do with Hurts’ breakout last season as anything. But Hurts was a 2020 second-rounder unlike the first two, and thus has a little more leverage because he has only one year left on his deal. The Bengals and Chargers have fifth-year options on first rounders Burrow and Herbert.
