Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has agreed a new deal set to make him the highest-paid player in NFL history after leading his team to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, last season.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Hurts has agreed to terms on a five-year, $255m contract extension including $179.304m in guaranteed money and a no-trade clause.

 

The deal will see Hurts earn $51m on average per year, surpassing Aaron Rodgers' $49m per year and and Kyler Murray's $46.1m.

 

Hurts will also have the opportunity to garner an extra $15m in incentivised money meaning the value of the contract could reach as high as $274.304m.
