Howie Roseman disputes claims that Jalen Hurts faces make-or-break season
Summary

Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman publicly rejected the narrative that quarterback Jalen Hurts faces a make-or-break season in 2026. Speaking on 94 WIP, Roseman defended the quarterback’s track record and expressed confidence in his ability to continue winning games for the franchise. The discussion follows a postseason exit last year and comes as the team enters a new campaign with Sean Mannion serving as the offensive coordinator. While some outside observers have pointed to the absence of a new contract extension as a sign of organizational uncertainty, Roseman noted that the team remains committed to the current quarterback. Hurts, who signed a five-year contract in 2023, has maintained that he ignores external criticism regarding his leadership. The Eagles are scheduled to face the Washington Commanders in their Week 1 opener.
