Could the Philadelphia Eagles replace Jalen Hurts with two-time MVP Lamar Jackson after the season? An NFL insider floated the massive trade idea this week.

This has been a year to forget for the Eagles. Heading into their Week 10 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, they own a sad 2-7 record and are headed to only their second season in the last 10 that won’t include a trip to the playoffs. However, while the team has waved the white flag on 2026, there is reason for hope heading into the offseason.

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has traded impact veterans AJ Brown, Cam Jurgens, and Jordan Davis this year. Yet, a strong core of talent remains. Furthermore, in the deals got a boatload of highly valuable draft picks. That is probably why NFL insider Jason LaCanfora offered up a bold opinion about what Roseman could do this offseason to get the Eagles back into title contention in 2027.

“He retained a star left tackle and is so loaded with draft picks that he can be at the front of the suitors for Lamar Jackson or Justin Herbert or whomever he fancies (it’s over with Jalen Hurts there),” La Canfora wrote in a new report.

Switching gears to making Lamar Jackson their new QB1 would be a surprising pivot, but many Eagles fans would favor the change. So, how realistic is a deal for the Baltimore Ravens superstar?

Philadelphia Eagles are one of the few teams that can actually make a Lamar Jackson trade

First, let’s talk about Hurts. Moving on from a three-time Pro Bowl who has a Super Bowl win on his resume is a big risk. However, things have been heading in this direction for the last two years.

While he is only 28 years old, it feels like the quarterback has peaked, or at least he has with the Eagles. Rumors swirled before the campaign that the team might move on after this season. Missing most of 2026 due to blood clots may be the nail in the coffin of a relationship that has soured.

If Roseman is going to move on from Hurts, getting one of the best QBs in the league makes sense. While Jackson is a year older, he is a four-time Pro Bowler with a pair of MVPs on his resume. Yes, his injury woes are a big concern. However, outside of Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, when healthy, there is no more dangerous signal-caller in the NFL.

The Ravens are in a tough position where it seems like it is time to rebuild. Making that even more of a sensible option is that Jackson can hit the free-agent market after next season. Trading him for a huge haul of draft picks, instead of possibly losing him for nothing in two years, would be smart business.

Trading for Jackson would require a massive trade package, but the Eagles can offer it. After their three trades this year, Philadelphia has 27 picks in the next three drafts. Five in the first round and five in the second in 2027 and 2028. The Eagles can offer three firsts, two seconds, a fourth, still have most of their future picks, and one of the best QBs in the NFL.

While the Ravens may not want to move their best player, if they get that offer before April’s draft, they should absolutely consider it because they may never get a better offer.
