Tanner McKee

Silver adds that Eagles backup QB Tanner McKee "is also highly regarded within the building." Hurts reportedly "fashions himself" as the NFL's Michael Jordan, chasing excellence with a "hyper-focus that can come off as aloofness." He has reportedly "been the source of much internal frustration, including from teammates other than" WR A.J. Brown. That said, Hurts "likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon." There is "a sense inside the locker room" that head coach Nick Sirianni, general manager Howie Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie "are reluctant to criticize Hurts," and Lurie "remains confident that an offseason reset can thrust Philly back into Super Bowl contention." Hurts, 27, did not have a good year, but he led the team to a Super Bowl victory one year ago and has three years left on the five-year, $255 million extension.
