Lurie's Eagles: Hurts, Carter, Brown & Stadium Plans

0:00It's April 1st. This is NFL news today for ball coverage powered by AI. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie made it clear at the NFL owner's meetings he still loves quarterback Jalen Hertz. Even after last season's drop-off, where the team ranked 19th in scoring and 24th in yards. Lurie said no one hurts more from that than him in the squad, and with new offensive coordinator Kellyn Moore calling plays, the goal is getting. Hertz back to elite level. Hertz is midway through a five-year deal, worth up to $255 million through 2028, ranking 10th among quarterbacks. His cap hit jumps to $97 million in 2029, so an extension could ease that while locking in the 28-year-old long-term. Lurie seems all in on that commitment. On defensive tackle, Jalen Carter, fresh off two pro balls, Lurie was way more reserved. Carter's up for an extension this spring, but if not, the Eagles will likely grab his fifth-year option worth about $27 million in 2027.

1:02Trade buzz around wide receiver AJ Brown got no shut down from Lurie. He praised Brown and Devonta Smith as top receivers and teammates, calling Brown an eagle, but added they'll see what happens down the road. That leaves the door cracked open. Lurie also talked stadium plans for Lincoln Financial Field, whose lease ends in 2032. They're studying renovations or even a new spot in the region, whatever's best for fans, learning from spots like Madrid and Barcelona. He wants to take it slow, with clearer answers in a year or two.
