Eagles News: Doug Pederson wanted Carson Wentz back as the starting quarterback in 2021?

Eagles Appear All-In on Jalen Hurts as the Starting QB this Season - EagleMaven
It appears the Eagles’ front office is fully on board with having Jalen Hurts as the starting quarterback in 2021, after a source close to the situation told SI.com Eagle Maven that former head coach Doug Pederson wanted Carson Wentz to return as the team’s starter next season. It had been assumed that Pederson wanted Hurts to be his starter in 2021 because it was, after all, Pederson who benched Wentz for the final four games of the season. That was not the case.
