Philadelphia Eagles superstar Jalen Hurts has agreed to a massive five year contract extension with the Eagles, the five year deal is worth up to $251 million with $179 million dollars guaranteed and $110 million due at signing. This now makes Hurts the highest paid player in the NFL with an average salary of $51 million per season.
Obviously this is a massive deal for both Hurts and the Eagles organization, Hurts will be the highest paid player for a couple months before Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert and Lamar Jackson will reset the market. With Jalen having a breakout season last year it wasn’t a surprise he was getting a massive contract after he led the Eagles to the Super Bowl.
Hurts finished second in MVP voting after he missed a few games late in the season, Hurts led the Eagles to an undefeated record for the first three months of the season until they lost to the Washington Commanders in a weekday game on prime time.
Jalen was drafted in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft which was a huge surprise after the Eagles paid quarterback Carson Wentz who led them to a Super Bowl in 2017 and also finished in the top 3 of MVP voting but since then Hurts has been the leader of Philadelphia and haven’t looked back since.
