PHILADELPHIA — If the final day of the offseason program is akin to the last day of school, then Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts spent Wednesday completing this semester’s drama class — and one in which he never even wanted to enroll. Hurts followed the conclusion of the team’s mandatory minicamp with an end-of-spring news conference that allowed him the floor to address two topics that have dominated stories about the franchise quarterback in recent months: The end of the A.J. Brown era in Philadelphia and offseason reports about Hurts’ role in the offense’s shortcomings last season.When Hurts last met with reporters, there was a looming “if” about the Brown trade. He expressed that “nothing can replace the greatness we achieved.” Since then, Brown was traded to the New England Patriots and admitted in an interview with Maria Taylor that his relationship with Hurts is not what it was when they became teammates in 2022. He added he has “nothing but love” for Hurts and wishes Hurts well, but that the two grew apart.“I’m not in the place to challenge anyone’s perspective on anything,” Hurts said Wednesday. “Seemingly so, it was (Brown’s perspective), that’s where I am. I’ve always been focused on the collective. I’ve always put my energy toward that.”When asked if he was disappointed in how their partnership ended, Hurts echoed similar gratitude from the days before the trade.“You come into it, and you have a sense of pride on how it began and definitely what we were able to accomplish,” Hurts said. “And the same I said last time, nothing can take that away. For the great things we did, now it’s time to focus on achieving great things with this new iteration of the team.”That new iteration of the team has been on display this spring without Brown. It also involves adjusting to a new offense, a shift that came after offensive regression prompted a coordinator change and a scheme overhaul. An ESPN article later suggested that Hurts pushed back on changes to diversify the offense. There were similar reports, including one from The Athletic, that indicated Hurts “has been the source of much internal frustration, including from teammates other than Brown.”“I’ve never asked for the opportunity to respond to anything,” Hurts said. “Just let it live and go do my job.” Hurts denied that he called the ill-fated final offensive play of the Eagles’ postseason loss to San Francisco. When asked about the charge that he had been rigid about offensive changes in the past, Hurts offered a more nuanced response.“I’m always open to growth. I’m always open to improvement,” Hurts said. “A lot of it is, where do we put our time on task? What are we exhausting? What are we repping?”
