The Arizona Cardinals and Philadelphia Eagles have settled a tampering investigation by trading picks in the 2023 and 2024 draft.
The teams are swapping third-round picks in 2023 (a 28-pick difference), and the Cardinals will receive the Eagles' fifth-round pick in 2024.
In a joint statement, the teams explained that Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort had a phone conversation with Eagles defensive coordinator — and now Cardinals coach — Jonathan Gannon in the days following the NFC Championship.
The conversation was a violation of rules. The statement contends that the Cardinals self-reported the issue.
The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced Jalen Hurts' five-year, $255 million contract extension on Monday.
The quarterback spoke of having "mixed emotions" about becoming the highest-paid player in NFL history.
"Money is nice," Hurts said. "Championships are better."
Hurts, a second-round pick in 2020, excelled in his second season as the full-time starter, throwing 22 touchdowns to six interceptions in 2022 while rushing for 760 yards and 13 scores and leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance.
"Franchises go through special moments, and this is one for the Philadelphia Eagles," CEO Jeffrey Lurie said. "It's crucial no matter what that you can find your quarterback for the present and the future, and to have that person be as sterling a character and as passionate about his craft and as dedicated as this young 24-year-old is, is remarkable."
In response to a tweet from Akbar Gbaja-Biamila claiming Derrick Henry was headed to the Philadelphia Eagles, A.J. Brown endorsed a reunion with his former Tennessee Titans teammate.
"Nobody has #22. Make it happen if it's possible," Brown tweeted.
There has been no indication of Henry leaving the Titans or getting traded, but the three-time Pro Bowler does have one year remaining on his contract with a base salary of $10.5 million.
The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Matt Patricia as their new senior defensive assistant.
Patricia spent the past two seasons back with the New England Patriots after three seasons as head coach of the Detroit Lions.
Jalen Hurts underwent surgery on his right ankle earlier this offseason.
The procedure was to remove "hardware" that had been inserted in the ankle after Hurts suffered a high ankle sprain while playing for the University of Alabama in an October 2018 game against Tennessee.
Surgery to remove the hardware took place in February and was considered minor.
Hurts will be a full participant in the Eagles' offseason training program that begins next week.
Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles have agreed to a five-year, $255 million extension, which includes $179.304 million in guaranteed money.
Hurts becomes the highest paid player in NFL history. Nicole Lynn of Klutch Sports negotiated the deal for Hurts.
As part of the deal, Hurts has a no-trade clause.
Hurts led the Eagles to a Super Bowl appearance last season and was a second-team All-Pro while finishing second in MVP voting behind Patrick Mahomes.
Darius Slay revealed on his podcast, "Big Play Slay," that he nearly joined the Baltimore Ravens this offseason.
There was a period of time in which it seemed as though the cornerback was going to leave the Philadelphia Eagles. He flirted with the Ravens before ultimately remaining with the Eagles.
"I was almost -- this close -- a Baltimore Raven. This close," said Slay, holding up two fingers close together. "But I wanted to be an Eagle. I stayed an Eagle because I know we were going to figure something out."
Slay, 32, was granted permission to seek a trade before the start of free agency, according to a report, and he was then expected to get released two weeks ago. But he was never cut and instead signed a three-year, $42 million deal with the Eagles.
"The Baltimore Ravens were the first team that called," Slay said. "They offered just what I wanted. I said, 'If the Eagles do that, I'm going to stay an Eagle.' It was nice now. I was almost a Raven."
