PHILADELPHIA, PA — In a landmark move, quarterback Jalen Hurts has just signed a four-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Eagles, keeping him with the team through the 2028 season. The deal, which is one of the largest in franchise history, solidifies Hurts’ position as the long-term face of the Eagles’ offense and ends months of speculation about his future with the team.
The new contract, reportedly worth over $200 million, includes a substantial signing bonus and performance-based incentives that make Hurts one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. The Eagles’ front office and Hurts’ camp have worked tirelessly over the past few months to finalize the terms, with the agreement coming just ahead of the team’s offseason training programs.
Hurts, who took the NFL by storm in 2022, led the Eagles to an NFC Championship title and an appearance in Super Bowl LVII. His dual-threat ability as both a passer and a rusher has redefined the quarterback position, and his leadership on and off the field has earned him respect from coaches, teammates, and fans alike.
“We are thrilled to have Jalen as the cornerstone of our team for years to come,” said Eagles’ General Manager Howie Roseman. “He has proven to be not just a remarkable player but a true leader who elevates the entire organization. We believe he is the key to our continued success and the future of the franchise.”
Hurts, 25, was drafted by the Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft and quickly emerged as the team’s starting quarterback. After a breakout 2022 season, where he finished as a finalist for MVP honors, Hurts has solidified his status as one of the elite quarterbacks in the league.
“I’m beyond excited to be part of the Eagles’ family for many years to come,” Hurts said in a statement. “We have a special group here, and I’m committed to helping this team reach its full potential. The work is far from over, and I can’t wait to get back to work with my teammates.”
The contract extension ensures that Hurts will be leading the Eagles’ high-powered offense for the foreseeable future as the team looks to continue its championship aspirations. The move also comes at a time when the NFL quarterback market is seeing a significant rise in value, and Hurts’ new deal reflects both his immense talent and his critical role in the Eagles’ success.
