Quarterback Jalen Hurts has a record deal with the Philadelphia Eagles signed.
The 24-year-old is getting up to $255 million for a five-year extension until 2028. Hurts is reportedly the highest-paid player in the history of the US football league NFL per season.
He is guaranteed $179 million, his previous rookie contract runs for another year, then the record deal will take effect. In addition, Hurts’ contract contains a “no trade” clause, meaning the playmaker can only be sent to another team if he agrees to the trade. According to “nfl.com” there has never been such a clause in the Eagles.

Hurts was drafted number 53 by Philadelphia in 2020, and last season the Texan-born led the Eagles in the Super Bowlin which they narrowly den Kansas City Chiefs lost to star quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
The $179 million guarantee for Hurts in NFL history is second to none Cleveland Browns surpassed, which pledged Deshaun Watson $230 million for five years.
The total of $ 255 million for the contract extension until 2028 is the second highest in the NFL: Mahomes’ ten-year contract with the Chiefs was worth $ 450 million in 2020.
