@@Philadelphia Eagles

[Brandt] Have to see details of Hurts deal, but Eagles strategy clear: 1. Get in before Burrow and Herbert. 2. Throw big signing bonus in front of him, huge $ vs. scheduled rookie contract salary of peanuts. 3. Have big average (>50M) in order to avoid the Watson full guarantee issue.

  1. Injury guarantees:

    1) Deshaun Watson, Browns: $230.0M

    2) Russell Wilson, Broncos: $196.0M

    3) Kyler Murray, Cardinals: $189.5M

    4) Jalen Hurts, Eagles: $179.3M

    Kyler being guaranteed more money than Hurts is completely indefensible. Just another Eagles W.

  2. Five years is nice as well, gives the eagles some flexibility and should only look better as time goes by

  5. When a guy takes you to the Superbowl for roughly $1M it’s not exactly prudent to try and nickel and dime him

    He made some concessions to give the team some wiggle room when his next extension is due but fortunately he’s still getting the bag up front like he deserves

  7. I’m not even gonna pretend to be knowledgeable about the pros and cons of the details of the contract’s structure. If Howie’s happy with it, and Jalen’s happy with it, that’s good enough for me haha

  8. 100%agree. Both sides are happy then this is a big win for the Eagles and the fan base.

  11. Now to see what his work ethic is really about. The next five generations of his family are set for life, does he stay the hardest worker in the room?

  12. Funny in my mind it was like “get in before lamar!” And this guy doesn’t even mention that.
