The Philadelphia Eagles made Jalen Hurts the highest-paid player in NFL history after the quarterback signed a blockbuster new contract - and the Eagles also included a no-trade clause for the first time in franchise history.
Hurts was selected by the Eagles in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft and the former Alabama and Oklahoma star has steadily progressed each and every year. However, he took his game to new heights in 2022, leading the Eagles to the first seed in the NFC and a Super Bowl berth.
On Monday, it emerged that Hurts and Philadelphia had agreed to a five-year deal worth $255million (£206.2m) with more than $179.3m (£145m) in guarantees. The 24-year-old will earn around $51m (£41.2m) a year, which eclipses four-time MVP Aaron Rodgers as the highest-paid quarterback in football.
