Daily News | Russell Wilson trade, Aaron Rodgers deal leave Eagles with fewer options on the QB trade market
The path for Jalen Hurts to remain as the Eagles’ starting quarterback going into next season has gotten much clearer.
In exchange, the Broncos made themselves Super Bowl contenders with Wilson, 33, joining an offense that ranked 12th in efficiency last season by Football Outsiders with Teddy Bridgewater as starting quarterback. “We have Jalen Hurts,” Roseman said last Wednesday, “who’s a 23-year-old quarterback, who led his team to the playoffs, and he’s going to get better and better and better. He’s going to do everything possible to get better, and we have to do our part in that.”
Denver was linked to Rodgers, especially after the team hired former Packers offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as its head coach earlier this offseason. Rodgers agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $200 million with Green Bay on Tuesday, according to the NFL Network, and the Broncos seemingly didn’t waste time securing Wilson in the aftermath.
When asked about Watson last week, Roseman pivoted back to Hurts before saying he gathers information on players across all positions.
