Eagles were desperate to gift a $255 million bonanza

The Philadelphia Eagles wasted no time in signing their star quarterback. With his magnificent performance last season, the quarterback established himself as one of the league’s top quarterbacks and earned serious consideration as an MVP candidate.

Hurts has shown remarkable growth in each of his two seasons as a starting quarterback. He not only has exceptional passing skills, but he also has a dynamic rushing ability. Hurts amassed 760 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns, making people chant “MVP” in the stands.

Timing-wise, the Eagles’ move could potentially save them money considering other young quarterbacks like Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert are expected to receive extensions this offseason while Lamar Jackson‘s contract situation remains uncertain.

As the beating heart of the team, Hurts has earned tremendous respect from his teammates who openly joked about him getting a big-money contract extension as soon as possible throughout last season. The Eagles recognized how important it was to secure their young quarterback’s future and thus made this deal happen.
