Hurts Inks Record Contract But Star QB's 'Eyes Still On Prize'

Jalen Hurts prioritizes championships over money despite signing an NFL record five-year, $255 million extension with the Philadelphia Eagles that includes $178.3 million guaranteed.
The extension makes Hurts' average annual salary of $51 million the highest in NFL history, with his total guarantees second only to Deshaun Watson's deal.
The extension was necessary for the Eagles to retain Hurts, who is now under pressure to prove he's worth the investment after a breakout second season as the starter.
Hurts acknowledges conflicting feelings over the money and remaining hungry to achieve more on the field.
The Eagles' decision-makers and Hurts' teammates joined his agent, Nicole Lynn, in celebrating the deal, which is believed to be the largest negotiated by a female agent.
