Eagles Give Jalen Hurts $255-Million Extension
NFL Offseason - The Eagles have locked in the quarterback position, handing Jalen Hurts a five-year, $255-million extension which includes $179.3 million guaranteed. Hurts is now the highest-paid player in NFL history, at least temporarily. Remember: get your quarterback on the big second contract before another team has to get its quarterback on a big second contract, because whoever goes last pays the most.

Hurts is now No. 1 all-time in average annual value. He is second in total cash behind Patrick Mahomes' 10-year, $450-million extension from 2020, and he is second in guaranteed money behind the Deshaun Watson deal.
