NFL Trade Rumors
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts went from sitting in the Chiefs confetti during defeat to holding the Pete Rozelle Trophy as the Super Bowl MVP in a dominant victory over Kansas City. His play earned high praise from HC Nick Sirianni, who was emotional following the win.
“He just keeps he just keeps getting better,” Sirianni said of Hurts, via NFL.com. “He knows how to win. He does a great job of being able to block out all the outside noise. I find it funny when it’s like, you know, ‘Well, Jalen is good because he’s got a good team around him.’ Like, that’s football — you cannot be great without the greatness of others.

“My message to Giants fans would be, ‘It’s nothing but love,’” Barkley said, via Ryan Dunleavy of The New York Post. “I’d be naive to think that they weren’t supportive to me over the last six years. Obviously, a few of them were disappointed with my decision, but the way I look at it, all the things that happened over there and the love I have for them is the reason that I’m able to have the success I’m having now.”
“I definitely thought about that,” Barkley said of losing out on a spot in the team’s ring of honor. *“That’s what you want to do when you come to a place: Leave your legacy, have an impact. Thankful for the first six years I had in New York, but I can still be in [Philadelphia’s]...
