Daily News | Eagles can win with an expensive Jalen Hurts, but free agent frustration is their new norm
There’s a weaselly stat people like to cite that says a team has never won a Super Bowl with a quarterback making X percent of the salary cap, where X is the current market rate for a franchise player. It’s weaselly on a few different levels.
The Eagles still have a window of at least one or two years of paying Hurts his due without too much collateral damage. DeShaun Watson’s unprecedentedly lucrative contract will end up costing the Browns just $28.5 million in cap space over its first two years. Don’t be surprised if the Eagles end up flashing some cash on one- or two-year deals for free agents. They might have been able to fit Javon Hargrave’s $6.7 million cap hit alongside Hurts’ eventual number for 2023.
In fairness, Taylor’s subsequent 22-20 stint as Bills starter suggests that it might have been a draw. But that’s it, despite the fact that Flacco was one of the lesser talents in his pay-grade and Taylor was one of the best. And, it’s worth noting, Taylor himself was the third-highest paid player on the team in his last year with the Bills.
