🏈 What Hurts’ Extension Means For Other QBs

How will the Jalen Hurts deal affect Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert? [View in browser]( [FOX SPORTS INSIDER WITH MARTIN ROGERS] In today’s FOX Sports Insider with guest writer Henry McKenna: With Jalen Hurts now extended, what does that mean for the next wave of quarterback contracts? … Bryce Young has incredible talent, but what makes him the potential top pick? … and more! OK, yes, yes. Before we begin thinking about which quarterback will get a massive contract, let's look at the deal Philly finalized on Monday. Hurts, 24, and the Eagles agreed to a five-year, $255 million contract extension with $180 million guaranteed. The average annual value — $51 million per year — is the largest sum in NFL history. Maybe it's not at the same scale of Patrick Mahomes, whose deal is worth $450 million over 10 years. And maybe it's not fully guaranteed like the contract given to Deshaun Watson, who will make $46 million per year on a deal that extends through 2027. But Hurts' deal is the first extension among quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft class, with Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert waiting for their big deals to come next. Hurts is suddenly making more than $50 million per year, but Burrow is slated to earn $5.5 million in 2023 and Herbert will make just $4.2 million in new money during the upcoming season. Hurts' deal also came before an extension for Lamar Jackson, 26, whose strained contract negotiations with the Baltimore Ravens are ongoing. So did Hurts' agent — by negotiating a deal for the Eagles quarterback — essentially twist off a stuck lid for the rest of the quarterbacks around the league? Or are things going to get more complicated? Let's dive into how Hurts' deal impacts his peers.
