Hurts led the Eagles to the Super Bowl this past season, and he has been rewarded in a big way by getting a 5-year, record-breaking contract extension that will keep him in Philly through the 2028 season.
Bottom Line: The ceiling continues to rise for elite QBs
With Hurts agreeing to this mega-contract with the Eagles, it just shows how valuable top-tier QBs are in the NFL. In my opinion, Hurts is a Top 5 QB or so in the NFL, and now, he is getting paid. His 5-year, $255 million contract makes him the highest-paid QB in league history… at least for now.
