The Impact of Jalen Hurts' Record-Breaking Contract on Future QB Deals and Race in the NFL

Jalen Hurts has signed a five-year, $255 million extension with the Philadelphia Eagles, making him the highest-paid player in NFL history. The deal includes $179 million guaranteed. The contract's structure may affect Lamar Jackson's negotiations with the Ravens. Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, and Tua Tagovailoa are also awaiting extensions, with Burrow expected to reset the market. While quarterback contracts are getting expensive, they are justified given the position's value and the NFL's revenue.
