Jalen Hurts will be in Philadelphia for many years to come, and he’ll be making that bag in the meantime. Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms on a five-year, $255 million contract extension on Monday. Hurts is now the highest-paid player in NFL history, thanks to this agreement. The new contract is broken down as follows, according to the NFL.
Jalen Hurts has “$179.304 million in total guarantees, including $110 million fully guaranteed at signing and $126.5 million fully guaranteed by March 2024, as well as the first no-trade clause in Eagles history.”
Not only is John Hurts making history with this new deal, but his agent Nicole Lynn is also. Lynn negotiated the deal, which is also believed to be the biggest contract ever completed by a female agent.
Jalen Hurts was in the final year of his rookie contract when he agreed to this latest extension.
Hurts, a second-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, helped the Eagles secure a playoff spot in 2021. This was also his first year as the starting quarterback for the team.
Hurts won 14 of his 15 regular-season starts last season in an MVP-worthy performance.
Hurts completed 66.7 percent of his passes in the playoffs, with three touchdowns and no interceptions.
In Super Bowl LVII alone, Hurts put together one of the best individual efforts by a quarterback in Super Bowl history, despite dealing with a lingering injury.
He threw for 304 yards and scored a touchdown against the Chiefs, completing over 71 percent of his passes.
