Eagles Sign Jalen Hurts To A Five Year $255 Million Contract

The Philadelphia Eagles have reached a contract agreement Jalen Hurts to extend him for five years.

The deal will be worth a total of $255 million, with around $179.30 million in guarantees, reports NFL Insider Ian Rapoport.

The contract makes Hurts the highest paid player in league history and it will give him no-trade protection.

The move to sign Hurts comes as the Baltimore Ravens struggle to find common ground with its star quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Rapoport said on the Pat McAfee Show that the team offered Jackson, who has requested a trade, $200 million in total guarantees.

However, it only gave Jackson $175 million in injury guarantees compared with Hurts’ $179.30 million.

But you have to wonder if Hurts’ deal helps the two sides agree to a new contract.

That said, the Eagles will now look to continue its success with Hurts under center.

Last year, the team reached the Super Bowl as Hurts finished second in the MVP voting, just behind Patrick Mahomes.

The 24-year-old threw for more than 3,700 yards with 22 touchdown passes and only six interceptions.

Also, Hurts rushed for 760 yards.

The Eagles next year will be in arguably the toughest division in all of football.

The NFC East featured three playoff teams in 2022 including the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys in addition to the Eagles.

And also, you have to wonder if the Los Angeles Chargers will move to lock up its starting quarterback Justin Herbert to a long-term extension.
