Jalen Hurts becomes highest-paid NFL player ever with new Philadelphia Eagles contract

Jalen Hurts is now the highest paid player in NFL history after agreeing a huge five-year extension with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday.

The Eagles and Hurts have agreed terms on a five-year, $255million (£182m) extension after a stunning season for the young quarterback. Hurts led the Eagles to the No.1 seed in the NFC last season, and was denied his first Super Bowl success after a stunning comeback from Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes.

Hurts scored three rushing touchdowns in the Super Bowl, and the Eagles have made extending his deal a priority this offseason. The 24-year-old was a second-round draft pick in 2020, and has been rewarded for his stunning rise in the NFL.
