Patrick Mahomes reacts to Jalen Hurts getting the biggest contract in NFL history.
The Eagles have locked in their exceptional quarterback for the long haul. On Monday, they struck a deal with Jalen Hurts on a staggering five-year, $255 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history, according to insider sources. The team later confirmed the agreement.
The contract for Hurts consists of $179.304 million in overall guarantees, with $110 million fully guaranteed at signing and $126.5 million completely guaranteed by March 2024. In addition, the Eagles have given Hurts the first no-trade clause in the team's history, a testament to their unwavering confidence in the young 24-year-old talent. This deal surpasses Patrick Mahomes' annual earnings of $45 million on his 10-year, $450 million agreement.
«Congrats to him,» Mahomes said of Hurts' new deal, which was negotiated by Klutch Sports' Nicole Lynn. «He deserves it. He's someone that plays the position the right way. He goes about his business the right way. That's why they were in the Super Bowl and he played a great game in the Super Bowl. He proved a lot of people wrong that were still doubting him.»
NFL Network's James Palmer shared Mahomes' thoughts on Hurts's groundbreaking contract, highlighting the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback's congratulatory message to the Eagles' standout on securing his well-deserved payday.
