Jalen Hurts has officially announced that this will be his final season with the Philadelphia Eagles, marking the end of an era for the franchise. The 25-year-old quarterback made the emotional announcement during a press conference, reflecting on his journey with the team and the impact it has had on his life and career.
Hurts joined the Eagles in 2020, stepping into the starting role during the 2021 season. Over the past few years, he has not only become a fan favorite but also a key figure in the team’s resurgence. Under his leadership, the Eagles reached the Super Bowl in the 2022 season, showcasing his ability to perform under pressure and his growth as a quarterback.
As he prepares to say goodbye, Hurts expressed gratitude to his teammates, coaches, and the passionate Eagles fan base. “Philadelphia has been my home, and I will forever cherish the memories we’ve made together,” Hurts said, fighting back tears. “Every game, every moment spent here has shaped me into the person I am today.”
The decision to leave the Eagles comes after much contemplation and a desire to explore new opportunities. While he is excited about what the future holds, Hurts admitted it was not an easy choice. “This city will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will continue to root for the Eagles from afar,” he added.
As the season progresses, Hurts is focused on giving his all to the team and its fans, determined to leave on a high note. The Eagles have a strong chance to compete for another championship, and Hurts aims to lead them with the same tenacity and dedication he has displayed throughout his career.
