Jalen Hurts Inks $255 Million Contract Extension with Eagles

The contract makes Jalen Hurts the highest-paid player in NFL history with an average salary of $51 million per year and $179.3 million guaranteed.
The deal secures Hurts as the franchise quarterback of the Eagles for the foreseeable future.
The extension is likely to impact negotiations with other star quarterbacks like Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, and Justin Herbert.
The Ravens reportedly offered Lamar Jackson a similar amount of guaranteed money that he turned down.
Patrick Mahomes' $450 million contract now looks like a bargain in comparison to Hurts' record-setting deal.
