    Jalen Hurts’ Contract and 2024 Salary?

    In April 2023, the Eagles and Hurts agreed to a five-year, $255 million deal.

    The contract features $179.304 million in guarantees and a no-trade clause. He’ll receive $110 million fully guaranteed and $126.5 million before the second year of the contract. Hurts can earn another $15 million via incentives.

    Hurts is under contract with Philadelphia through the 2028 season. The Eagles used a triple-option bonus structure with Hurts’ deal to keep his cap charges low for now, but the contract will have to be reworked in the future.

    His 2024 cap hit is just $13,558,000, but it will escalate in the coming years:

    • 2025: $21,769,800
    • 2026: $31,771,800
    • 2027: $41,149,000
    • 2028: $47,149,000

    Hurts’ average annual salary is $51 million, which makes him the ninth-highest-paid quarterback in the NFL. Hurts was the highest-paid player in the league when he initially signed his deal.

    However, in terms of average annual value, he has since been surpassed by Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson ($52 million), Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert ($52.5 million), Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff ($53 million), Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa ($53.1 million), Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence ($55 million), Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love ($55 million), Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow ($55 million), and Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott ($60 million).

    When asked why he didn’t push for a fully guaranteed contract, Hurts replied: “Money is nice, championships are better.”

    Hurts’ lucrative payday is a significant increase from his rookie contract, which paid him a little over $6 million for four years, including a $1.9 million signing bonus and $2.8 million in guaranteed money.

    That’s still life-changing money for most, but Hurts’ new contract pays him 34 times his previous salary. This enormous contract has obviously impacted Hurts’ net worth.

    Hurts’ Net Worth and Career Earnings

    The Eagles’ star quarterback has a net worth of approximately $30 million. His estimated net worth increased by roughly $10 million after he signed his lucrative extension.

    If we count his current salary, Hurts’ career earnings are $68,897,559.

    However, that figure only takes into account his NFL contracts. This doesn’t include his endorsement deals with companies such as Lemon Perfect, Gillette, Pepsi, Louisiana Hot Sauce, Kellog’s, Truist, Oikos Protein, and Columbia, among others.

    For reference, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has the highest career earnings in NFL history, with $342,496,898 earned and a $200 million net worth.

    Hurts has the same net worth as Tagovailoa, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

    The quarterback market continues to surge with each new contract that is signed. 49ers QB Brock Purdy is next in line for a new deal, so it will be interesting to see where the former Mr. Irrelevant ranks among the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks after he inks his new deal.

    Hurts is only 26 years old, so given his talent and the paydays that quarterbacks are receiving these days, his earning potential is through the roof.

    Now, Hurts will try to lead the Eagles past Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card Round.

    Love isn’t afraid to take chances. While that creates some downside, his style of play has paid off more often than not up to this point in the season.

    The issue is now it must pay off against elite competition, all while Love battles a right elbow injury that caused him to miss much of the team’s Week 18 loss to the Bears. Love has averaged -0.06 EPA per dropback in five games against the Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, and Eagles this season. Against all other teams, he’s averaged 0.21 EPA per dropback.

    Saquon Barkley has opened up offensive versatility that simply didn’t exist last season. The ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history led the top-ranked offense by EPA per rush (0.08) excluding Week 18 (when Philadelphia benched nearly all of its starters).

    The Eagles can produce against anyone, but if the offensive line remains a liability when it comes to pass blocking, Philly could be in a precarious spot if it falls behind.

    The Eagles are the worst team at preventing pressure when not blitzed, a flaw that could undo all the good it’s capable of doing. That said, with playmakers at every level, counting this offense out isn’t a wise move as long as Jalen Hurts recovers from his concussion before the Wild Card Round.

    The play of the Packers’ offensive line has been fairly inconsistent since its bye week, but they rank ninth in the league over the past four weeks. The overall numbers do not appear to be anything to worry about, and a strong showing up front against the Lions in Week 14 is a strong reason for optimism in the playoffs.

    This week, they face a Philadelphia team that they graded as a B- against last time out. However, that was back in Week 1, so both teams have changed significantly. The Eagles’ OL has also been all over the map in recent weeks. They rank 27th over the final four weeks with D+ grades against the Commanders and Steelers.

    There isn’t a statistical flaw in Philadelphia’s defense, which ranks top 10 in every metric that encompasses our Defense+ grades (except for sack rate, where they’re 15th). That makes them an incredibly dangerous threat to win the NFC, even without the top seed.

    Five of the Packers’ six losses came against the Eagles, Vikings, and Lions, which bodes ominously for a playoff run that starts in Philadelphia. The offensive injuries were the bigger concern coming out of Week 18. For the Packers to make a run in the playoffs, they’ll need this unit’s variance to swing in the right direction.
