Team news: Philadelphia Eagles | Page 31

RB Devontae Booker agrees to terms with the New York Giants on a two-year, $6-million deal, per source. Booker with Saquon Barkley in the backfield.

Coming off a backup role in Las Vegas, Devontae Booker should see a similar situation in New York, with Saquon Barkey returning from injury. Booker has shown pass-catching prowess in his past, so could see a decent amount of work should Barkley sustain an injury again in 2021.

Former Eagles QB Carson Wentz has been traded to the Indianapolis Colts, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles received draft compensation in return.

Carson Wentz reunites with Frank Reich in Indy and gets a chance to revive his career after injuries and poor performance derailed much of the past two seasons. This also opens the starting QB job in Philly for Jalen Hurts.

Prior to the trade, our John Paulsen had Wentz and Hurts ranked 28th and 29th in his 'Never Too Early' rankings. That will change for the better for both signal callers.

Eagles TE Dall Goedert will not play Week 17 against the Washington Football Team, according to the team's official injury report.

Zach Ertz will start, while Goedert ends his 2020 season as the clear TE1 for Philly in 2021.

Doug Pederson said Monday that rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will start the season finale against Washington, which is meaningless for the Eagles but will make Washington the NFC East champion if the visitors win.

“Definitely want to continue to evaluate, not only him but the rest of the team, and where we are moving forward,” Pederson said.

Hurts wasn't great in Week 16, a loss to a Dallas and a defense that has struggled at times this year. But the Eagles want to continue to get a look at Hurts, as has been reported since he took over the starting job. There will be lots of decisions to make this offseason in Philly, from QB to coach to GM.

The Eagles are opening the 21-day window for WR DeSean Jackson (ankle) to practice, source says.

He’s currently on IR but attempting to return as the Eagles are still alive to win the NFL East and host a home playoff game if things fall their way. Jackson's speed would be an interesting combo with Hurts now at QB for the Eagles. Hurts has done a much better job extending plays and moving out of the pocket. But, Jackson is far from a safe play in fantasy lineups even if he returns sooner than later.

Jalen Hurts will make his third career start against the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas on Sunday.

Carson Wentz

No shock here as even in a loss to the Cardinals Hurts was again dynamic. Reports say Wentz now wants out of Philly if regulated to a backup next season, and as of now, it looks like the Eagles will be sticking with Hurts for the long term
