PhillyVoice sports

Key Points:

  • Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie confirmed that any trade involving wide receiver A.J. Brown would require his approval, and currently, Brown remains an Eagle with no immediate plans for a trade.
  • A contract extension for quarterback Jalen Hurts is not currently a priority, with Lurie indicating Hurts is in the middle of his current contract and focusing more on a potential deal for defensive player Jalen Carter.
  • Lurie outlined the team's roster strategy, emphasizing financial investment in young defensive stars while planning to acquire offensive talent through the draft, aiming for sustained success under salary cap constraints.
  • Lurie expressed strong confidence in the new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion and praised the Eagles’ history of identifying and developing young coaching talent to improve offensive performance.
  • The Eagles are open to playing an international "road" game this season but will not give up a home game, with potential matchups likely in London rather than other international locations.
