Is Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts the best bargain in the NFL?

Jalen #Hurts led the #Eagles to the #playoffs in his second season and it’s safe to say, no player in the #NFL offers more value at their position #TBvs#PHI #PHIvsTB #FlyEaglesFly

On Sunday in Tampa Bay, Jalen Hurts will become the youngest quarterback in Eagles history to start a playoff game (23 years old), and after watching Carson Wentz implode against Jacksonville, the former second-round pick now holds all the cards.

There are 32 starting quarterbacks in the NFL and about 12-13 backups that are capable of starting at some point, as well, but Hurts did what several high-profile stars were unable to this season.

John Clark of NBC Sports recently asked a question in regards to Hurts’ value, and whether he’s the best bargain in the entire league?

We took an even deeper dive thanks to Over The Cap and NextGenStats, and you look at his total production, compared to other players around the league at his position, Hurts is by far the best bargain and offers the most value.

Washington could have Montez Sweat return to lineup as matchup with Eagles gets postponed

#WashingtonFootball set to have star pass rusher Montez #Sweat return to the lineup as matchup with Philadelphia #Eagles gets postponed until Tuesday #PHIvsWAS

Lost in the news that Philadelphia’s matchup against Washington has been postponed until Tuesday, is the ironic scenario that’ll see star pass rusher Montez Sweat, come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday.

Washington’s defensive line had been hit the hardest by COVID-19, with Jonathan Allen, Matt Ioannidis, Sweat, Tim Settle, Casey Toohill, James Smith-Williams, and William Bradley-King are all on the COVID list.

Sweat has 20 sacks in his first 40 NFL games, is likely to return by Tuesday, with head coach Ron Rivera hopeful of his availability.

“It would obviously be a boost to get a guy like Montez back,” Del Rio said. “I know he’s working out; I’ve seen him via Zoom. I know he’s hopeful that that will occur, and we would love to see it. How many plays will he end up playing if he gets cleared and can play, I’m not sure? But yeah, I mean it would be a lift to get one of your better players back for sure.”

Sweat had spent the previous month on the injured reserve list with a fractured jaw.
