Jalen Hurts becomes the highest paid NFL player ever

According to the Nicholas Reimann of Forbes on Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles signed quarterback Jalen Hurts of Houston, Texas to a five-year deal worth $255 million. The signing now makes Hurts the highest paid quarterback in National Football League history in terms of average annual value.

Hurts will be paid an average of $51 million per season over the next five seasons. Of the $255 million, a total of $179 million is guaranteed.

This past season, Hurts completed 306 passes in 460 attempts for 3701 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. The first year Pro-Bowler also had 165 rushes for 760 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns on the ground.

A major reason why Hurts received the massive contract, is because the Eagles won and won a lot in 2022. Of his 15 starts, the Eagles had a record of 14 wins and one loss. Philadelphia reached the Super Bowl, but lost 38-35 to the Kansas City Chiefs.

The old record belonged to Aaron Rodgers of Chico, California, who signed a three-year deal worth $150.8 million with the Green Bay Packers on March 15, 2022 according to Liz Roscher of Yahoo! Sports. This contract sees Rodgers earn $50.27 million per season.

However, there are significant rumours at this time that Rodgers will not return next season to Green Bay. Initially, it was believed that Rodgers would be traded to the New York Jets, however according to Joseph Zucker of Bleacher Report, the Jets management and Packers management have not come to an agreement. The Packers are reportedly seeking multiple draft picks over multiple years. It is a price the Jets are considering as possibly too steep at this time.
