When Jalen Hurts signed his massive contract extension with the Eagles last week, he agreed to a deal that left a gap between the maximum dollar amount and the guaranteed figure. In total, Hurts has a chance to earn up to $255 million over five years. He will get $179.3 million guaranteed, which includes $110 million at signing.
On Monday, Hurts spoke with the media for the first time since agreeing to the deal, and the quarterback had a very simple answer as to why he didn’t demand a fully guaranteed pact.
“Money is nice. Championships are better,” he said.
