The NFL offseason is still heating up, and for the Philadelphia Eagles, the next few weeks could bring some big changes. While the team has earned plenty of praise for their moves so far—The Athletic even named them the biggest offseason winners—there's one major storyline that has everyone talking: the future of star wide receiver A.J. Brown.

It's widely expected that Brown will be traded after June 1, which would be a significant blow to the offense. But the Eagles have already started planning for life without him. They drafted slot receiver Makai Lemon, who thrives in the middle of the field, and tight end Eli Stowers, a big-bodied pass catcher who also works those same areas. That's an interesting strategy, especially when you consider that quarterback Jalen Hurts has one of the lowest rates of targeting the intermediate middle of the field in the entire league—a trend that has held true under multiple offensive coordinators.

And that brings us to the bigger question: Can Jalen Hurts evolve as a passer?

The Athletic's Ted Nguyen put it bluntly: "This is the last season Hurts has guaranteed money left on his deal. As accomplished as he is, he has to prove he can grow as a passer and age gracefully as his athleticism declines. He’s won a lot of games and a Super Bowl, but that doesn’t mean the Eagles owe him a lucrative contract if they think his game could continue to decline."

It's a fair point. Hurts has been a winner, no doubt about it. But as the NFL evolves, so must its quarterbacks. The Eagles are betting on their roster construction to help Hurts take that next step—but with key pieces potentially on the move, all eyes will be on No. 1 to see if he can rise to the occasion.
