When Jalen Hurts signed his original five-year, $255 million deal with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, the deal originally made him the highest-paid quarterback in the game at the time.
Now, the quarterback market has exploded even more than it already had, and Hurts' deal seems like a bargain.
With Brock Purdy's new contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers netting an annual average of over $53 million on a five-year, $265 million deal, Hurts has seen his value drop to the 10th highest-paid quarterback for the sport.
And that could get the Super Bowl MVP on the phone looking at his own chances of a new deal.
Hurts can be seen as a aplayer that is next in ,line for a new contract to get him back in the top-5 of highest-paid signal-callers in the league. Young signal-callers like C.J. Stroud are up for extensions after the 2025 season and will look to push that value well over $60 million. ....
Which is where Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys now sits alone.
Keep in mind that there are other quarterbacks who will look for their own extensions as well. Whoever agrees to a deal first, may seen their value go down in a few short months.
But as the only active quarterback to win a Super Bowl MVP outside of Patrick Mahomes, the Eagles know they have a special signal-caller in Hurts. Getting a new deal done would continue their consistent approach of being early on extensions.
And will allow them to be more flexible in the future.
With Purdy now getting a new deal, we bet it's only a matter of time before the Eagles follow suit with Hurts.
