PHILADELPHIA -- For the second year in a row, Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie is pointing the franchise in the direction of quarterback Jalen Hurts -- raising questions and concerns in the process. Lurie was influential in the selection of Hurts in last April's draft, according to sources. He wasn't alone on an island -- former coach Doug Pederson was seeking a young QB to develop and general manager Howie Roseman was said to be on board -- but Lurie wanted Hurts. And when bosses want something they usually get it. Philadelphia used its second-round pick (No. 53 overall) on the Oklaho...

INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts have had four different quarterbacks -- Scott Tolzien, Andrew Luck, Jacoby Brissett and Philip Rivers -- enter the season as starter in as many years. Coach Frank Reich will have a fifth, Carson Wentz, starting in 2021. It's the second season Reich’s starter will be someone he’s familiar with and had success with at a previous stop. The coach spoke recently about the quarterback changes he’s had to endure with the Colts and what expects out of his next starter. But there was a catch. He never said the words "Carson" or "Wentz." That’s because th...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- A long, long time ago in a football galaxy not so far away, coach Mike Shanahan had some things to say about free agency and the Denver Broncos. "Everybody says we're in on everybody. Same thing every year. 'Oh and the Broncos are in discussions' type thing. Sometimes we are, but most of the time we weren't, but if you're an agent and your guy is in the market, just say the Broncos are interested." It was 2006 and, truth be told, Shanahan was quite often interested, but what goes around has certainly come around as the Broncos are one of the league's designated "quarterbac...

PHILADELPHIA -- The term Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie kept coming back to when talking about quarterbacks Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts Monday was "assets." It was one of the descriptors he used for Wentz when asked if the 2016 No. 2 overall pick would remain on the roster in 2021 -- Lurie said it wasn't his decision to make -- and it's how he framed the QB situation when giving an argument for why Philadelphia would be a desirable spot to be a head coach. "We've got two really interesting assets. They are both young. They are both hungry. They are terrific people, very different an...

Rivers has talked like he wants to play an 18th season, but the Colts have to determine if they want to bring him back to make a run at a Super Bowl in 2021. If not, will the Colts go the free-agency route or fill the need by making a trade for a veteran such as the Philadelphia Eagles' Carson Wentz or the Detroit Lions' Matthew Stafford? Or is Jacob Eason, who spent his rookie season as the No. 3 quarterback on the depth chart, ready to make that leap into the starting role? Rivers and Brissett will both be free agents this offseason, so things are very much up in the air.
