Projecting a contract extension for Eagles QB Jalen Hurts after dominant performance

With NFL quarterback salaries soaring, here’s a breakdown of what a contract extension could look like for Eagles MVP candidate Jalen Hurts

You never want to create any postseason distractions for your team, but Monday, January 9 is a day that Jalen Hurts has waited for his entire career.

Starting today, players from the 2020 NFL Draft class are eligible for contract extensions and those discussions or deals can happen at any point now.

Hurts is a Pro Bowl quarterback, and MVP candidate.

The NFL is all about loading up on young, dynamic talent, and as Philadelphia continues to reload at key positions, Hurts is the one player in the NFL to watch.

A 2020 second-round pick, Hurts won’t have to worry about a fifth-year option before he can cash out and 2023 will be the final year of his rookie contract.

Howie Roseman is all about striking first and since the Eagles’ third-year quarterback’s trajectory has risen to elite status, Philadelphia could be on the hook for even more than was initially guaranteed when they signed Carson Wentz to a new deal.

After leading the Eagles to the playoffs in back-to-back years, while also vastly improving under center, Hurts will soon be one of the top 10 highest-paid signal-callers.

Here’s an early projection of what a new deal for Hurts would look like.

How Russell Wilson’s new 5-year, $245M contract impacts Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts

We’re taking a look at how the new five-year, $245 million contract extension Russell Wilson signed with the Denver Broncos will impact Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts

Ian Rapoport reports that the Denver Broncos made some serious contract news on Thursday, agreeing with star quarterback Russell Wilson on a five-year, $245 million extension that includes $165 million in guaranteed money.

The blockbuster deal is the third-most lucrative contract in NFL history, behind only Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s $230 million and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray’s $189.5 million.

The extension pays Wilson an average salary of $49 million, with the salary cap rising even more over the next few years.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts isn’t as talented as Russell Wilson, and he doesn’t have to be regarding a loom contract extension.

It just has to be his time.

The new deal will impact Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who could be in line for a massive extension if he can lead Philadelphia to the postseason in back-to-back years.

How Kyler Murray’s new 5-year, $230M extension with the Arizona Cardinals impacts Philadelphia Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts

Kyler Murray will be a wealthy man after the Cardinals star agreed to a five-year extension worth $230.5 million, making him one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks.

The deal, which runs through the 2028 season, includes $160 million guaranteed for injury, and according to Adam Schefter, Murray will make $105 million fully guaranteed upon signing the deal.

Murray’s $46.1 million average salary is the second highest in the NFL behind only Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers ($50.3 million).

Murray’s new deal will impact Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who could be in line for a huge extension if he can lead Philadelphia to the postseason in back-to-back years.
