  4. I should have been an NFL QB.

    This is well deserved and worth every penny. This dude is gonna win multiple rings here.

  5. Wonder how those “league executives” that thought he’d take a discount are feeling lol

    Glad to have this done, now let’s just enjoy watching this dude play and dominate

  6. A first extension, mega deal contract for a franchise QB with zero drama in the media or stress for the fans. This is the Jalen Hurts era. Shoutout to Lurie, Howie, and Jalen.

  8. Getting it done ASAP is the key, got him locked up, with each year it will look like more of a bargain.

    Simply doing it before Lamar saves us a lot.

    Howie work your magic now and stack that roster again.

  9. Glad they got it done before the other extension-eligble QBs got their deals. Not that it’s a cheap deal, but it would cost more if they waited.

  13. Everyone wins

    – Hurts gets his money
    – The contract is long enough for Howie to play with the cap
    – Worst case Hurts is a FA again before he turns 30
    – Nichole Lynn can say she negotiated the biggest deal in NFL history, which not only gets her company attention a d more clients but also proves that a minority female agent can play in the boys club of sports agents

  19. Dak was the highest paid QB at one point lol. Eventually his contract won’t look as expensive with the salary cap rising and qb worth

  24. This is a good deal. Lamar, Herbert, Burrow, etc are now all going to ask for more and Hurts will end up a steal.

    He was easily the best player on the field in the Super Bowl so anyone who thinks he isn’t worth this is out of their minds

  27. Great news – it was always going to be expensive. Better now than after Burrow/Lamar, etc

  29. Hurts SZN. Glad they got this out before Burrow or Herbert’s. I can see them getting more guaranteed

  31. Man does it feel good that we don’t have to worry about the QB position. From being doubted by everyone to an All-Pro season and a generational performance in the Super Bowl. With Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni and Howie Roseman the Eagles are in good hands for a long time. Now let’s kill it in the draft and win that damn Super Bowl.

  32. Day 1: Handwringing over price <— Remember you are here.

    When Lamar/Burrow/Herbert sign bigger deals: Relief that we got Jalen done first

    Two or three years of QB contracts from now: Surprise at how team-friendly this deal looks in comparison to the newest ones

    Just remember that this is always the cycle and be glad we locked up our boy!

  34. $36 guaranteed/yr up to $51/yr if he balls out? Not a bad deal at all.

    That being said, these massive QB contracts immediately give me heart attacks because of just how huge they’ve gotten in the past ten years.

  35. This contract just makes me think about how genius the Chiefs were for locking down mahomes a few years ago. 10 years at $45m AAV is a ridiculous steal

  37. If any player in Eagles history has ever deserved the Brinks truck it’s Jalen Hurts
