New Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said he “can’t answer” whether quarterback Carson Wentz will be on the team in 2021, as he is in the process of “evaluating everything.” “What we need to do is evaluate the entire roster,” Sirianni said at his introductory news conference Friday. “We have two quarterbacks in Carson Wentz and Jalen Hurts that are top-notch quarterbacks. A lot of teams don’t have any. So just really excited to work with both of them.” Sirianni added that he is not ready to say whether there will be an open competition at quarterback this offseason, and hasn’t established a timeline for when he needs to choose his starter.
