Eagles hopeful Hurts' new deal will be done 'relatively soon'

PHOENIX — Speaking at the NFL annual league meeting Monday, general manager Howie Roseman said the Philadelphia Eagles hope to sign Jalen Hurts to a contract extension «relatively soon.»

The topic was first broached when Roseman was asked why there wasn't a bigger push made to bring back safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who ended up inking a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Detroit Lions in free agency.

It's no secret that at some time relatively soon we want to extend our quarterback, so our whole roster building is going to kind of turn a little bit here from a quarterback on a rookie deal towards a quarterback hopefully on a long-term deal — not that we have anything done, but obviously our goal is to keep Jalen here for a long time,» Roseman said. «And so at some point you run out of resources. And so we were very clear that at some point we were going to have to go in a different direction. Those first couple days we tried (to agree to terms with Gardner-Johnson) and then we pivoted.»

Hurts, whom Roseman described as a «franchise quarterback» during his session with reporters at the Arizona Biltmore resort, is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is scheduled to make just over $4 million in 2023.

The market could get reset further this offseason with Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson all eligible for new deals,
