One of the best players at his position, Jalen Hurts made it to the playoffs two years in a row for the Philadelphia Eagles. Hurts game has been improving significantly year after year. Because of his success, he is probably going to make a lot of money when his current contract ends with the Eagles. But the Eagles could sign Hurts to a cheaper contract than other quarterbacks in the future. This could be a good move for the team.

Jalen Hurts’ current contract with the Eagles is almost over. This means he will be able to join another team if the Eagles don’t sign him to a new contract before the next NFL season starts.

Hurts’ future contract: Team-friendly or Mahomes-style?

From the Eagles’ perspective, the team may try to sign Hurts to a new contract before he becomes a free agent in order to reset the market for quarterback deals. The idea is to sign Hurts to a team-friendly deal that would be less expensive than what other quarterbacks, such as Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, and Lamar Jackson, are likely to receive in the future.

On the other hand, the NFL executive commented that the Eagles will structure Hurts’ contract similarly to how the Kansas City Chiefs structured Patrick Mahomes’ contract. Mahomes signed a 10-year contract worth $503 million in 2020, but the contract includes rolling guarantees that give the Chiefs flexibility from year to year.

“I think Hurts will do a Mahomes-type deal with a good structure for the team,” the executive said.
