After emerging as one of the best quarterbacks in the league last season, Jalen Hurts got paid like one.a five-year, $255 million contract extension through 2028The extension, worked out by Hurts’ agent, Nicole Lynn, is not only believed to be the biggest contract ever negotiated by a female agent, but also the largest in Eagles history. It has a chance to be the biggest deal in league history depending on incentives and guaranteed money is second-most in NFL history.
Similar to Watson, Mahomes’ deal is creative in its structure and circumstance and therefore is difficult to use for comparisons. Hurts’ annual value is significantly higher than Mahomes’, whose deal may look quite below market in a few years. Some of the discrepancy can be explained by Hurts having one year existing on his deal whereas Jones signed a new contract before hitting free agency, but Hurts’ cap hit will still grow next season because of the guaranteed money spreading over the duration of his reworked deal.
