Jeffrey Lurie, owner and CEO of the Philadelphia Eagles, said that Jalen Hurts is "just what we're looking for" when asked about the prospects of starting contract extension talks with the quarterback at some point.

Hurts, a second-round pick in 2020, has one year left on his rookie deal and is now eligible for an extension.

"I don't think he has anything to prove [to be the long-term answer at quarterback]," Lurie said at the Super Bowl's opening night. "He is an MVP-caliber quarterback, an incredible leader of the team on the field, off the field. He's 24 years old, incredibly mature and, most importantly, driven to be even better. What we're seeing today I think is just the beginning for Jalen. This guy will attack every weakness as he has since high school, since college. The future is bright and very exciting for all of us."

Asked when dialogue with Hurts' agent, Nicole Lynn, will start, Lurie said "certainly not this week," with the team focused on the Super Bowl.
