The Eagles and Jalen Hurts agreed to terms Monday on a five-year, $255 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history, per sources. The team later announced the deal.
Hurts' deal 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.
The Eagles QB can earn an additional $15 million in incentives, giving him an opportunity to make as much as $274.304 million through 2028, including $4.304 million that he would've been due in the last year of his original rookie contract this season.
Hurts gets a raise in 2023, including a $23.294 million signing bonus, and will make $64 million through the first new year in 2024. The Eagles now have him under contract for the next six years.
Wow... I completely forgot he was a 2nd round pick and they didn't get the fifth year of his rookie deal, so I guess they had to do this. But that timing sucks big time, he's only had one good/great year and the OC that helped to drive that year is gone.
I understand investing in your QB, but making him the highest paid player in NFL history after 1 good/great year is a big time roll of the dice, even if you didn't lose your OC.
