Daily News | Howie Roseman makes a smart bet on Eagles QB Jalen Hurts as training camp looms
“I look at a hundred deals a day. I pick one.” — Gordon Gekko, “Wall Street,” 1987.
The first option seemed the best option, with possible acquisitions like Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Deshaun Watson, and even Kyler Murray, but when the chips finally fell —— it became evident that the market would have made that decision unwise. “We’ve got to do whatever we can to continue to help him develop. And how do we do that? By surrounding him with really good players. ... Players continue to grow.”
Now, Hurts will have the best offensive line in the NFL. He will have two excellent wide receivers. He will have two dynamic running backs. His tight end will be the best skilled player on the roster. He will watch a defense that is more stout on the line, more talented at linebacker, and both better and deeper in the secondary.
Watching Watson in Cleveland won’t be quite as difficult. He’s facing suspension for his alleged sexual misconduct with 24 massage therapists while he was the quarterback in Houston, the lurid details of which left the Eagles shocked and disgusted after they sent an investigator to Texas to determine if they should go hard after Watson.
