LATEST NEWS: Insider Says Seahawks Could Get “Fresh Start” With Hurts Trade

ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio has raised speculation about the possibility of Jalen Hurts becoming unhappy with the Philadelphia Eagles following the firing of offensive coordinator Brian Johnson. Florio suggested that this situation could potentially lead to a trade, with the Seattle Seahawks being mentioned as a team to watch, depending on their new head coach.

Florio acknowledged that there is currently no evidence to support the idea that Hurts would want to leave Philadelphia after one season, but he raised the possibility that the unexpected firing of Johnson could impact Hurts’ feelings. Florio suggested that if Hurts were to express a desire for a fresh start, the Seahawks might be a team with potential interest, especially considering Geno Smith’s contract situation.

Florio highlighted the long-standing friendship between Hurts and Johnson, noting that Hurts had mentioned Johnson when discussing the Eagles “fixing everything.” The unexpected firing of Johnson may have left Hurts disappointed, according to Florio.

While acknowledging that business decisions are part of the NFL, Florio speculated that the firing of Johnson might not sit well with Hurts, although there is no confirmation of this. He also acknowledged that trade scenarios in real life involve significant complexities, including the financial implications of taking on a quarterback’s massive contract.

It’s essential to note that these speculations are based on potential scenarios and not concrete evidence of Hurts’ intentions. The Seahawks, along with the Washington Commanders, are currently in search of a new head coach, and any potential trade scenarios would likely depend on various factors, including the preferences of the players and the strategies of the teams involved.
