The 2025 NFL season might not have been the fairy tale Philadelphia Eagles fans dreamed of, but there's a strong undercurrent of optimism surrounding Jalen Hurts and his potential to lead the Eagles back to the Super Bowl spotlight.
And who better to echo this sentiment than Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie himself? At the NFL Annual League Meetings in Arizona, Lurie expressed his unwavering support for Hurts. While he remained tight-lipped about any future contract extension discussions, he made it clear that his admiration for Hurts runs deep.
“There’s no bigger fan of Jalen than me,” Lurie said, highlighting Hurts’ clutch performances. He fondly recalled Hurts’ Super Bowl MVP performance 13 months ago and his near-MVP showing against Kansas City the year before.
Lurie praised Hurts' dedication, noting, “I spend a lot of time with Jalen, as I do with most quarterbacks. He’s incredibly dedicated to the game and winning.
I love everything about him.”

Hurts, often a polarizing figure due to his well-known quirks, has nonetheless been one of the NFL’s standout players over the past six seasons. With a 69.5 percent win rate in the regular season, six playoff victories, and a Super Bowl MVP under his belt, his track record speaks volumes.
Fans might dream of him hitting 4,000 passing yards and adding another 1,000 on the ground, but the real key lies in his ability to execute Sean Mannion's offense to its fullest potential. If he can do that, the Eagles are well-positioned to chase another Super Bowl title before his current contract concludes.
