“I’ve played with Smitty since I was 17, 18 years old so that’s something to consider when you think of our chemistry and on the foundation of where we come from. So I think having his presence has always been very valuable. I’ve always appreciated that. And I think as he leads and as I lead, it’s just about putting those things together and continue to improve given all the change that we have in front of us.”
— Jalen Hurts
I don’t think people understand the nature of the era Eagles football is in. We have guys choosing to come to Philly and play for the Eagles when they could play somewhere else. Like these guys, do have options of where they want to play. Like Riq for instance. He chose the Eagles because they give him the best opportunity to showcase skills for the rest of the NFL teams. These guys sign here because they want to be part of a winning culture. Yall better enjoy this era with THIS QB!
Dallas Goedert: "I was able to test for agency a little bit. Had opportunities to go elsewhere. Nothing was a better opportunity than I thought I could have here. Being able to play in the same place for nine years is special. It would have had to be something really drastic to have me try to sign somewhere else."
