Month: November 2024

Panthers Waive S Caden Sterns

August 8th, 2024 at 3:36pm CST by Adam La Rose

Caden Sterns‘ time with the Panthers has proven to be very brief. The former Broncos safety has already been placed back on waivers after failing a physical with his new team, Carolina announced on Thursday.

Sterns’ health has been a concern this offseason after he was limited to only one game in 2023 due to a torn patellar tendon. A failed physical was not the reason he was let go by the Broncos, but struggles in recovering from that injury – or a new ailment altogether – should keep him on the open market for a period moving forward. The 24-year-old will join a new team if another claim is put in, but it would come as a surprise if that took place.

In the event Sterns clears waivers, he will be a free agent. The former fifth-rounder could draw interest when healthy given his performances in 2021 and ’22. Across those seasons, he totaled four interceptions and nine pass deflections while making five starts. Sterns logged a defensive snap share of 84% in 2022, a campaign in which he was held to only five games played.

The Texas alum likely would have competed for playing time at safety with the likes of Xavier Woods, Jordan Fuller and Nick Scott while Sam Franklin recovers from a broken foot. Sterns has seen time at slot corner in his career, though, and he could have met the Panthers’ goal of adding depth at that position had he been healthy. Instead, team and player will now go their separate ways.

Carolina has roughly $6.1MM in cap space. That should allow the team to pursue a modest veteran addition in the secondary late in the summer. Sterns, meanwhile, will turn his attention to recovery in the hopes of landing a deal with another new team in time for the start of the season.

Falcons WR Rondale Moore Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury

August 8th, 2024 at 2:22pm CST by Adam La Rose

Rondale Moore‘s debut Falcons campaign has already come to an end. The fourth-year receiver was carted off the field in practice yesterday, and the worst-case scenario has been confirmed after testing.

Moore suffered a season-ending knee injury, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report. He has now been placed on injured reserve by the Falcons, per a team announcement. The 24-year-old’s attention will therefore turn to recovery ahead of free agency.

Entering the league as a second-rounder, Moore faced high expectations with the Cardinals. He occupied a regular role in Arizona’s passing game for the past three seasons, drawing between 56 and 64 targets each year. The Purdue product did not deliver a strong statistical output during that span, however, with his best campaign coming in 2023 (530 scrimmage yards, two total touchdowns).

Moore was dealt to the Falcons as part of a straight swap for quarterback Desmond Ridder in March. That deal was a welcomed one on Moore’s part, given his dissatisfaction with his usage in Arizona. A change of scenery had him lined up to play with Kirk Cousins ahead of his walk year, providing him the opportunity to showcase himself in a new offense before landing a new Atlanta contract or reaching the market. Instead, Moore’s value will take a notable hit and Atlanta’s offense will be shorthanded during Cousins’ debut campaign.

The Falcons still have Drake London in place atop the WR depth chart. The former No. 8 pick has shown potential with underwhelming quarterback play so far in his Atlanta tenure, but expectations are high for a step forward in production with Cousins in place. Atlanta also signed Darnell Mooney in free agency, and the former Bear will be counted on to serve in a starting role on the perimeter.

Moore was competing for the first-team slot spot before going down with the injury. The Falcons were high on his potential in a new system, but Josh Kendall of The Athletic notes Ray-Ray McCloud was ahead of him based on how training camp had progressed (subscription required). Now, McCloud – who has seen his best performances come in the return game – will be counted on to produce on offense.

In a corresponding move, the Falcons signed undrafted rookie punter Ryan Sanborn. The Texas product was part of Atlanta’s UDFA class, and he will again have the chance to spend time with incumbent Bradley Pinion for at least a brief period. The team will now need to evaluate if a receiver addition is necessary ahead of roster cutdowns.

Ravens Expected To Sign WR Anthony Miller

August 8th, 2024 at 1:41pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Ravens are set to make another veteran addition at the receiver spot. Baltimore is expected to sign Anthony Miller, veteran insider Jordan Schultz reports.

Miller’s last regular season action came in 2021. He split his time between the Texans and Steelers that year, making just six receptions. That production fell well short of that from his tenure with the Bears, which lasted from 2018-20. That spell included a seven-touchdown rookie campaign and a career-high 656 yards and 52 receptions the following season.

The former second-rounder caught on with the 49ers late in the 2023 offseason, but he did not survive the team’s roster cutdown. That led Miller to a brief tenure on the Colts’ practice squad and, later in the campaign, a futures deal with the Chiefs. Kansas City prioritized additions via free agency and the draft at the receiver position, though, and in May Miller was let go.

The 29-year-old had not been connected to any visits or interest from teams until today. Baltimore’s offseason did not consist of much in the way of roster moves amongst receivers, but the team will once again add depth presuming this Miller deal goes through. He will compete for a spot in a WR room consisting of Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, fourth-round rookie Devontez Walker and returner Deonte Harty in addition to recent signing Russell Gage.

The Ravens have not had a pass-happy offense during the Lamar Jackson era, and the addition of Derrick Henry in the backfield has led to the expectation of a ground-based attack continuing in 2024. Miller’s sparse production will no doubt limit his value to the league minimum on a Baltimore pact, and he will have work to do to carve out a roster spot. The team’s remaining training camp practices and preseason schedule will provide him with the opportunity to do just that, though.

49ers To Add WR Robbie Chosen

August 8th, 2024 at 12:02pm CST by Sam Robinson

Brandon Aiyuk remains a 49er, but he is not practicing. Frustrated by his contract situation for months, Aiyuk remains a hold-in. As a result, the 49ers are bringing in a veteran.

San Francisco is adding Robbie Chosen, according to NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero. Known more in recent years for his name changes, Chosen has starter experience and, per Pelissero, received interest elsewhere. After working out for the 49ers, the former Jets and Panthers starter will receive another opportunity.

The Seahawks hosted Chosen earlier this offseason, but ESPN.com’s Field Yates notes the 49ers brought him in for an audition Wednesday. Chosen follows Tracy Walker as recent 49ers tryout invitees to receive a contract offer. Walker signed with the team late Wednesday night. The other player invited for a workout, safety Rudy Ford, has not signed.

The former Robby Anderson, Robbie Anderson and Chosen Anderson is now 31 and is coming off an unremarkable Dolphins stint. Though, a 68-yard touchdown grab in Miami’s 70-20 demolition of Denver led to an interesting four-catch, 126-yard stat line from last season. The Panthers rostered Chosen from 2020-22 but traded him shortly after Matt Rhule, Chosen’s college HC while at Temple, was fired. The deep threat produced a 1,000-yard season in 2020, leading to a two-year, $29.5MM Carolina extension, and flashed as a deep threat during his Jets tenure. At this point, however, Chosen would qualify as a depth option.

Beginning camp without Ricky Pearsall healthy, the 49ers have since seen the first-rounder return to practice. The defending NFC champions still have Deebo Samuel and the recently extended Jauan Jennings in uniform, and Ronnie Bell and fourth-round rookie Jacob Cowing are rostered as well. The team also signed Chris Conley and brought back Trent Taylor this offseason, but Chosen will be asked to contribute as well. With 16-man practice squads in place, Chosen could compete for a spot there if he is unable to land a 53-man spot.

OL Notes: Bears, Commanders, Coleman, Fashanu, Jets, Lamm, Dolphins, Paul, Titans

August 8th, 2024 at 11:58am CST by Sam Robinson

In Ryan Bates and Coleman Shelton, the Bears added two starter-caliber veterans along their interior O-line this offseason. They still may not be satisfied up front. Nate Davis did not live up to his three-year, $30MM contract last season, and the ex-Titans starter has missed time due to a groin injury in practice. Bates has guard experience, starting for most of the 2022 season in Buffalo (on a Bears-constructed contract to which he remains attached), and could be an option at RG as well. But the Bears should be expected to look into the trade market and closely monitor the waiver wire — as cuts come in later this month — for interior help, per ESPN.com’s Dan Graziano. Chicago is set at left guard (Teven Jenkins) and seemingly would be prepared to make the loser of the Shelton-Bates center battle an interior swingman, but Davis’ health and shaky 2023 showing looks to have generated a bit of concern — for depth purposes at the very least.

Here is the latest from O-line situations around the league:

Brandon Coleman is moving closer to becoming a rookie tackle starter in Washington. The Commanders are giving the third-rounder first-team left tackle reps, per NBC Sports Washington’s JP Finlay, and The Athletic’s Ben Standig adds Coleman may be the safest bet to start at tackle to open Dan Quinn‘s tenure. Quinn said both Washington tackle jobs are open, and Standig adds 2023 free agency pickup Andrew Wylie and veteran Cornelius Lucas may be vying for the RT job (subscription required). Some evaluators viewed Coleman as a better guard in the pros, but the Commanders do not share that assessment. More of a spot starter than a full-timer, Lucas has still made 31 starts during his four-year Washington run. Wylie is attached to a three-year, $24MM deal.
The Jets devoted their top offseason resource to insurance on their O-line, but the Olu Fashanu pick will obviously matter more in the long term. Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses are in place at tackle in New York, but Fashanu looms as a post-2024 starter at one of the positions. The Penn State product has repped exclusively at left tackle during training camp, but the New York Post’s Brian Costello notes team will give him RT reps as well. Smith’s extensive injury history points to Fashanu needing to make LT starts as a rookie; both Smith and Morgan are on expiring contracts.
Although the Dolphins used a second-round pick on Patrick Paul, the former Houston tackle may be more of a project than a player the team would count on to fill in for Terron Armstead if/when the talented veteran misses time. Veteran swingman Kendall Lamm remains on track to hold that role this season, per the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson. Armstead has missed 11 games since joining the Dolphins in 2022 and has missed more than two games in seven of the past nine seasons. Miami having chosen Paul 55th overall points to the prospect being given a chance early, and a June report suggested the rookie had a good chance to unseat Lamm. Though, Lamm — re-signed before the draft at one year and $2.5MM ($1.6MM guaranteed — represents quality insurance that would have the Dolphins carrying four tackles.
Elsewhere on Miami’s O-line, the team still has Isaiah Wynn on its active/PUP list. While Wynn is expected to eventually regain his starting LG job, Jackson notes Liam Eichenberg, Robert Jones and Jack Driscoll are vying for the two starting guard positions. The Dolphins lost Robert Hunt in free agency but re-signed Jones and added Driscoll. A former second-round pick who has played across Miami’s O-line, Eichenberg is in a contract year.
Prior to Saahdiq Charles‘ surprising retirement, Brian Callahan said (via ESPN.com’s Turron Davenport) the Titans free agency pickup and Dillon Radunz had been given near-equal time at right guard. No starter had been named, but Charles’ mid-camp exit certainly gives Radunz — a converted tackle in a contract year — a good chance to be the team’s guard opposite Peter Skoronski.

QB Nick Foles Announces Retirement

August 8th, 2024 at 10:10am CST by Sam Robinson

Nick Foles did not play last season, and the former Super Bowl MVP will not attempt to return to the league in 2024. The veteran quarterback announced his retirement after 11 seasons Thursday.

Turning 35 this offseason, Foles spent his most recent NFL campaign with the Colts. That 2022 season was far from his best work, and Indianapolis released him along with Matt Ryan in 2023. Foles will certainly be better remembered for his other stints, most notably his work in Philadelphia.

The virtuoso display the then-Carson Wentz backup offered in the 2017 NFC championship game and then Super Bowl LII led to the Eagles winning their only Super Bowl title and claiming an NFL crown for the first time since 1960. Foles did not have as much luck as a team’s preferred starter, but he also submitted a quality late-season relief effort to extend Philly’s title-defense season into the divisional round. Foles walks away having played for the Eagles, Rams, Chiefs, Jaguars, Bears and Colts.

Foles’ Eagles run began when the then-Andy Reid-run team used a third-round pick on the Arizona alum. The Eagles had traded would-be Donovan McNabb heir apparent Kevin Kolb to the Cardinals in 2011, and as injuries continued to hound free agency pickup/extension recipient Michael Vick, Foles stepped in. Foles’ first Philly stint included 24 starts, including a 2013 outing in Oakland that featured the 6-foot-6 passer tie the NFL record with seven touchdown passes, and a playoff berth. Foles was at the controls during Chip Kelly‘s 2013 debut, which produced an NFC East title and a narrow wild-card loss. Kelly’s one year in charge of personnel, however, resulted in Foles’ exit.

Kelly shipped Foles to St. Louis for Sam Bradford, whom the Eagles — after Howie Roseman regained the GM reins once Kelly was fired — traded after one season. Foles said he considered retirement following a rough Rams stint, which involved a benching and then a release. He resurfaced in Kansas City, backing up Alex Smith, and fetched a two-year, $11MM deal to back up Wentz. That turned out to be one of the most important QB2 acquisitions in NFL history.

Wentz’s ACL and MCL tears sidetracked what looked like an MVP season, and Foles struggled early in replacing the ascending starter. This led to the Eagles memorably being an underdog No. 1 seed in the divisional round. Foles silenced doubters by dominating to close out the Eagles’ banner postseason. Submitting 352- and 373-yard showings against the Vikings and Patriots, Foles threw six TD passes — and memorably caught another — to seal the Eagles’ championship. A statue now exists in Philadelphia because of Foles’ “Philly Special” offering.

Following another successful finish replacing Wentz, Foles saw his starter run end quickly. The Jaguars regretted the four-year, $88MM deal they authorized in 2019, benching him for Gardner Minshew before a 2020 trade with the Bears. Foles replaced Mitchell Trubisky early that season but was back on the bench during the stretch run. The Bears, who reworked Foles’ contract upon acquiring him, released the QB — who had become the team’s third-stringer following the Justin Fields draft choice — in 2022.

Thanks largely to the Jaguars contract, Foles earned more than $87MM in his career — a journey that included 58 starts, two trades and three releases. Although consistency eluded Foles, his Eagles accomplishments will certainly be remembered fondly.

Chukwuma Okorafor Likely To Start For Pats; Latest On Team’s Tackle Competitions

August 8th, 2024 at 9:47am CST by Sam Robinson

As the Patriots continue to hand big-money deals to Bill Belichick-era acquisitions, they remain thin at tackle. Plans to keep Michael Onwenu at right tackle have been scrapped — for the time being, at least — and a host of uncertain options are vying for gigs in New England.

Neither Pats tackle post is settled yet, and the Boston Herald’s Doug Kyed writes four primary candidates are in the mix. The only one who appears destined to start, Chukwuma Okorafor, is not currently practicing. Okorafor has missed the past three Pats practices, but Kyed adds the longtime Steelers right tackle starter is likely to start at either left or right tackle to open the season.

After Trent Brown‘s second New England exit opened a starting job, this is quite the fluid process. The Pats, who had designs on flipping Okorafor — the Steelers’ RT starter from 2020 until his midseason benching last year — to the left side, but Kyed adds he has been since relocated back to right tackle. This would make sense, as the 27-year-old blocker has played all of two LT snaps during the 2020s.

Third-round pick Caedan Wallace practiced primarily at left tackle last week, with the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin indicating he began camp on the right side. Vederian Lowe, a 2023 trade pickup, has also operated as the Pats’ starting LT extensively. He spent five straight practices in that role recently, per Kyed, who adds a Patriots evaluator mentioned the former Vikings draftee and Okorafor being the two most consistent options at camp thus far. Continuing the confusion here, Lowe split his snaps almost evenly (236-239) at LT and RT last season.

Former Broncos swingman Calvin Anderson, who is coming off a strange 2023 that featured a malaria diagnosis, is also involved in the competition. Anderson has primarily worked at right tackle during camp, also missing time due to injury last week. A 12-game starter in Denver from 2020-22, Anderson made it back last season to play in five games and start two. All of Anderson’s 2023 snaps came at right tackle.

When the Pats re-signed Onwenu on a three-year, $57MM deal, the plan appeared to be the fifth-year blocker — who has played extensively at guard and tackle — remaining the team’s right tackle starter. Those plans changed rather quickly, and Volin adds the high-priced blocker is now locked in at right guard. Both Volin and Kyed note an Onwenu-at-tackle scenario may well be one the Patriots revisit, with the Herald reporter indicating Cole Strange‘s eventual return — from a torn left patellar tendon — could kick Onwenu back to RT and slide current left guard Sidy Sow to RG.

Strange, who has yet to live up to his first-round draft status, returning would help stabilize New England’s O-line. For now, this is quite the unsettled situation. None of the team’s options appear especially appealing, either, creating some questions about Drake Maye‘s development.

The No. 3 overall pick, whom the Pats chose rather than accept big offers from the Giants or Vikings, is currently behind Jacoby Brissett for the QB1 gig. But the Pats are giving Maye first-team work. While Brissett may well begin the season as the team’s starter, Maye will almost definitely make 2024 starts. This muddled tackle situation could threaten to hinder the North Carolina product’s progress.

Browns Work Out T Cameron Fleming

August 8th, 2024 at 9:05am CST by Sam Robinson

Two weeks into training camp, the Browns still have their starting tackles on the active/PUP list. Jedrick Wills and Jack Conklin continue to close out their respective rehab efforts, keeping Cleveland shorthanded at the position.

The team is looking into help here, with ESPN.com’s Field Yates noting Cameron Fleming stopped through northeast Ohio for a workout. Fleming has been a free agent since his latest Broncos contract expired last season. The longtime swing tackle is one of the top O-line options available at this late-summer juncture.

Fleming, 31, spent the past three seasons in Denver. His 2022 proved more notable than 2023, as the Broncos needed extensive help at tackle during Nathaniel Hackett‘s season in charge compared to Sean Payton‘s debut. Fleming made one start last season but 15 in 2022. Pro Football Focus graded Fleming’s 2022 favorably, particularly in terms of pass protection, and he made four starts for the ’21 Broncos — as their decade-long right tackle search was in full swing — as well.

The Browns finished last season without Conklin, Wills or rookie swingman Dawand Jones. Conklin’s injuries (ACL and MCL tears) happened earlier (Week 1) and were more severe compared to Wills’ MCL issue, which occurred several weeks later. Wills did require surgery, however. Jones did not begin camp on the PUP list, presenting a positive sign for an injury-riddled offense.

Cleveland continues to have plans for a fifth season with a Wills-Conklin tackle tandem in place, though long-term questions exist. Having sustained two ACL tears and a patella tendon tear as a pro, Conklin plans for camp participation have not come to fruition. The former first-rounder’s injury history is certainly concerning at this point, though the Browns gave the veteran an extension late in the 2022 season.

No Fleming agreement would pertain to long-term plans at this point; the veteran has played for four teams during his 10-year career. But the Browns have barely a month to prepare Conklin and Wills for the season. This timeframe would naturally make the team interested in some depth aid.

Latest On Steelers, Brandon Aiyuk

August 7th, 2024 at 10:32pm CST by Adam La Rose

The Steelers remain a team to watch closely with respect to Brandon Aiyuk. The 49ers wideout has drawn considerable attention in recent days, but plenty is unresolved at this time.

Pittsburgh is one of a number of teams engaged in ongoing negotiations with San Francisco, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. The Steelers were not initially mentioned in Monday’s report regarding the framework being worked out on a trade. The Browns were named in that respect, along with the Patriots. New England is now believed to be out of the running, however.

The Patriots do not represent Aiyuk’s intended landing spot, something which may be the case for the Steelers. Pittsburgh has long been considered a contender to land the 26-year-old, and the team re-engaged in negotiations in the wake of Cleveland and New England making progress. While this situation remains fluid, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette confirms no agreement – formal or informal – is currently in place between the Steelers and 49ers.

Dulac adds that if a trade is to be worked out for Aiyuk, the Steelers will not include any players in the package coming back to San Francisco. Cleveland’s ability to acquire the Arizona State alum could require Amari Cooper heading the other way, but no comparable wideout exists for the Steelers. Pittsburgh already traded away Diontae Johnson earlier in the offseason.

That move (which was followed up by the release of Allen Robinson) has led to many naming the Steelers as a logical landing spot for a receiver. Aiyuk would certainly add considerable pedigree to a WR room led by George Pickens and third-round rookie Roman Wilson at the position as things stand. Pittsburgh is expected to rely on a run-heavy approach under new OC Arthur Smith in 2024, but Aiyuk has a pair of 1,000-yard campaigns to his name.

San Francisco entertained trade calls for both the former first-rounder and Deebo Samuel at the draft, though no deals were struck. The 49ers have several big-money commitments on offense already, and quarterback Brock Purdy will be eligible for an extension next offseason. Aiyuk is due $14.12MM in 2024 on the fifth-year option, but an extension will check in at a much higher rate.

The Patriots were reportedly willing to eclipse $28MM per season on a multi-year deal, and a New England agreement would have served the notable purpose (from San Francisco’s perspective) of sending him to an AFC team. Despite not having a no-trade clause, Aiyuk’s preference in this case appears to carry notable weight. Whether a potential desire to continue his career in Pittsburgh results in a trade will continue to be a top storyline for the Steelers and 49ers.

Nick Sirianni-Jalen Hurts Relationship ‘Fractured’ In 2023

August 7th, 2024 at 10:10pm CST by Sam Robinson

Nick Sirianni will enter his fourth Eagles season in an interesting place. The Philadelphia HC narrowly missed winning a Super Bowl in his second season, doing so after the team made a surprise playoff appearance in 2021. Last season’s undoing, however, pushed the former OC into firing rumors. Though, those appear to have been slightly overblown.

Rumors connecting the Eagles and Bill Belichick have circulated for months, with the legendary HC — currently preparing for a few media gigs for the 2024 season — believed to be interested should the job open in 2025. As of now, Sirianni is not exactly on the NFL’s hottest seat. But the temperature of the former Colts coordinator’s chair is nevertheless interesting.

Sirianni’s relationship with Jalen Hurts will play a key part of his post-2024 future in Philly, and the sides look to have work to do to. During the 2023 season, the relationship fractured, a source informed ESPN.com’s Tim McManus. While both sides have attempted to mend fences this offseason, this cornerstone relationship’s status may be the top Eagles storyline following an ugly late-season collapse that involved a defensive coordinator demotion and eventually led Sirianni to clean house and hire a new OC-DC tandem. Vic Fangio will be in charge of repairing a broken Eagles defense, but Sirianni — as the team went through with an onslaught of paydays on offense — will obviously remain pivotal as a non-play-calling HC.

Giving up play-calling duties midway through his first Eagles season, Sirianni nevertheless prompted some of his players to wonder who exactly was calling the shots on offense last season. A disconnect surrounding Hurts wanting more authority on offense, in an attempt made by the quarterback and OC Brian Johnson to evolve the scheme Sirianni brought with him from Indianapolis, was one of the main reasons behind the disconnect between HC and QB, McManus reports. Sirianni overruled Johnson at points, and a coach Hurts knew since childhood became a one-and-done. Ownership, along with GM Howie Roseman, is believed to have played perhaps the lead role in Johnson’s firing.

After showing significant improvement in his second starter season and dueling with Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LVII, Hurts took a step backward during a season that involved a leg injury. While the recently extended QB did not miss any time, he saw his interception count balloon from six to 15 and his yards per attempt drop from 8.0 to 7.2. Accusations of Hurts tuning out Sirianni and the former second-round pick playing “hero ball” surfaced, per McManus, as the Eagles’ tailspin featured them tumbling from 10-1 to being on the wrong end of a wild-card blowout.

We heard before the Eagles’ loss in Tampa that Hurts was dissatisfied with the offense’s direction. This reached a strange point in which he reached out to Don Martindale before the wild-card matchup. Hurts confirmed (via PHLY’s Zach Berman) McManus’ account of a Martindale conversation, which occurred after the two-year Giants DC bolted from his New York gig. The effort did not exactly help, and the Eagles soon hired Kellen Moore — prior to signing Saquon Barkley — to fix the offense.

In an effort to keep his scheme in line with what had worked in the past, Sirianni became more hands-on compared to his role during Steichen’s time calling plays and went through with one-on-one meetings with his quarterback. Those appear to have been counterproductive, given the reported state of his relationship with Hurts by season’s end.

Hurts declined to answer a question about Sirianni’s openness to change the offense this offseason. Although it is early, McManus adds Moore is receiving more autonomy by comparison to Johnson, whom the Eagles promoted after two seasons as QBs coach. Moore has considerably more experience, having called plays in Dallas during Jason Garrett‘s tenure and from 2020-22 under Mike McCarthy. Moore’s one-and-done Chargers OC stay was less memorable. Johnson has since caught on with the Commanders, being hired as Dan Quinn‘s pass-game coordinator.

Considering Sirianni’s tenuous grip on the Philly HC job, his Hurts dealings will be a running talking point this year. Hurts’ performance in Moore’s offense will go a long way toward determining Sirianni’s 2025 status. The Eagles are highly unlikely to bail on Hurts the way they punted on the Carson Wentz setup less than two years after authorizing his extension, but the team — given its investments on offense — will certainly need to see a bounce-back effort from its high-priced passer. Otherwise, another firing involving an Eagles Super Bowl leader is likely on tap.
