The Facts: As the Eagles try to build leverage for a Carson Wentz trade, circumstances continue to make it harder for the Eagles to maximize the return on a quarterback whose contract they’d love to dump. John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia recently reported that “a group of the Eagles young receivers” plan to work out with Hurts in Texas, at some point in the next month.
Diehards Line:No similar reports have surfaced regarding Wentz. As PFT suggests, presumably, that’s because Wentz still wants out and because momentum has pointed in the direction of a trade for a while now. Meanwhile, Hurts is going to take the opportunity to establish himself in a leadership role.
