Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is entering the final year of his rookie contract, meaning he is eligible for a contract extension this offseason.
For Eagles owner and CEO Jeffrey Lurie, there’s no question that he plans to extend the quarterback, especially as Hurts gears up to play in Sunday’s Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs.
“I don’t think he has anything to prove [to be the long-term answer at quarterback],” Lurie said, via ESPN’s Sal Paolantonio. “He is an MVP-caliber quarterback, an incredible leader of the team on the field, off the field. He’s 24 years old, incredibly mature and, most importantly, driven to be even better. What we’re seeing today I think is just the beginning for Jalen. This guy will attack every weakness as he has since high school, since college. The future is bright and very exciting for all of us.”
