Eagles, Jalen Hurts Agree to 5-Year, $255 Million Extension

by Anthony Dacunto

In a monumental deal that has sent shockwaves throughout the NFL, the Philadelphia Eagles have secured their franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts for the long haul. The ink has dried on a record-breaking five-year, $255 million contract that not only makes Hurts the highest-paid player in the league's history, but also includes a no-trade clause, a first-ever for the Eagles. Adding to the already staggering sum, the young and talented quarterback can potentially earn up to $15 million in incentives, further solidifying his place as a vital cog in the Eagles' machine. Hurts will also receive a massive signing bonus of $23.294 million, raking in a total of $64 million in his first year alone under his new contract. With the 24-year-old superstar under contract until 2028, the Eagles are confidently looking towards the future with Hurts at the helm. A sentiment shared by both the organization and the passionate fan base, who see Hurts as the key to unlocking championship glory once again. Last season may have ended in disappointment, but it was clear that Hurts was the shining light in a talented Eagles team. The quarterback's impact was undeniable, leading the team to the playoffs and narrowly missing out on a Super Bowl berth. This new deal cements his status as the cornerstone of the team, with the Eagles organization and fan base alike eagerly anticipating a successful campaign in the upcoming 2023-2024 season. With Hurts' talent, drive, and leadership, the sky is truly the limit for the Philadelphia Eagles. And while the rest of the league may be scrambling to keep up, the Eagles can rest easy knowing that their star quarterback is locked in for years to come.
