But wait, there's more! The deal also includes a whopping $179.3 million in guarantees, including $110 million fully guaranteed at signing and $126.5 million fully guaranteed by March 2024, as well as the first no-trade clause in Eagles history. It’s clear, Philly wants the 24-year-old football star to stay and bring home a championship ring.
Highest-paid QBs in the NFL in new money average per year:
1. Jalen Hurts: $51M
2. Aaron Rodgers: $49M

The Eagles quarterback is eligible for an additional $15 million in incentives, allowing him to earn up to $274.304 million through 2028, including $4.304 million that he would've been due in the final year of his original rookie contract this season.
Hurts will earn $64 million through the first new year in 2024 after receiving a raise in 2023, including a $23.294 million signing bonus. The Eagles have him under contract for the next six years, on a deal that allows them to keep the team together around him.
And guess what?
Nicole Lynn, Hurts' agent, negotiated the deal, which is believed to be the largest contract ever completed by a female agent! Yassss! #BlackGirlMagic.
Nicole Lynn sent Jalen Hurts a "hail mary" Instagram DM after his college career ended:
"Hey, have you picked an agent? If not, I'd love to link."
Hurts then signed with her, and Lynn has now made him the highest-paid player in NFL history (5-yr, $255M).

Hurts' new contract includes a total guarantee of $179.304 million, which is the second-largest in NFL history, trailing only Deshaun Watson's five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed deal with the Browns last year.
Congrats to Jalen Hurts for becoming the highest paid player in NFL history and his agent Nicole Lynn for negotiating.

Only Watson and Denver quarterback Russell Wilson had more money fully guaranteed at the time of their contracts than Hurts' $110 million. The total amount is only second in NFL history to Patrick Mahomes' 10-year, $450 million extension with the Chiefs in 2020.
We’re sure Jalen is going to turn up with his girlfriend, Bryonna Burrows, and family after landing this historic deal!
On the magazine front...
The handsome NFL QB landed the cover of ESSENCE magazine’s May/June 2023 issue. Yes, LAWD!
