The Philadelphia Eagles had a successful run in the 2022-23 Super Bowl season. Even though they could not win the Lombardi Trophy this year, the Philly showed everyone that good times will surely be ahead of them. That is partly because of the strong offense the team has been playing with. Additionally, they hit a jackpot when their 2020 second-round draft pick outperformed himself this year. Jalen Hurts finished in second place as an MVP and gave an impressive performance in this year’s Super Bowl. Hence, the star QB is destined to accept great opportunities. And the one person to always be by his side is his trustworthy wide receiver.

Fans reacted to the ultimate promise he made to Jalen Hurts

Hurts is approaching the end of his rookie contract and is qualified for a contract extension. The 24-year-old set a Super Bowl record for quarterbacks with 374 total yards, one air touchdown, and three ground touchdowns against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 57, even though the Eagles lost to them. Brown made it clear that he will follow Hurts where he would go.

“I love Philly,” Brown jokingly said. “And what I’m about to say: You do not pay this man, just ship me off wherever he’s (about to) go. Listen, so you’re talking about pressure? Howie, get it done,” he added.

Many fans are sure that the Eagles will not trade Hurts. A fan wrote, “eagles are paying jalen don’t worry.” However, one fan believed these two teams can afford the talented QB and the powerful wide-out: “The jets or the colts. Probably the only two that could afford both contracts.” 

Another fan predicted, “Eagles signing Hurts to 5 year deal at the minimum! Fly Eagles Fly.” A fan said, “Just 1 year ago everyone was calling Hurts trash. Now look.” “why is it a debate on if they’re paying him or not

Howie Roseman, Vice President of the Eagles, said that although it is impossible to keep every player on the roster, they will try their best to keep Hurts with them. Since he is one of their best players, their priority would be to not trade him to any other franchise.
