How much money should Jalen Hurts demand? Colin Cowherd warns Eagles QB to make team-friendly decision
Jalen Hurts took his team to the Super Bowl and now it's time for the team to take him to new places via a massive boost in payment for his services. However, one NFL analyst has cautioned the quarterback against getting too greedy.
Speaking on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, show host Colin Cowherd warned about the dangers of taking too much money:
"You want to hoist trophies? Do you want to be back here? Aaron's [not] happy today. Nobody can get a hold of him. He's at a darkness retreat. Do you think Russell Wilson's happy today? I saw he was in Arizona. I don't think he is."
Will Jalen Hurts earn $50 million per season?
He continued, revealing why the quarterback should be staying humble in negotiations
"Sometimes, you got to sacrifice a little. Hurts is excellent. But I can see Philadelphia in two, three, four weeks, losing six or seven players. This may be the best version, and the only thing you can do to ensure you can bring back a roster that's close to it is [committing to] something that's semi-team friendly."

A year after Deshaun Watson and Russell Wilson secured market-changing bags, the Eagles are also standing on the precipice of their next big investment. According to Spotrac, the 2023 season is set to be the quarterback's final on his current deal.

The Eagles still have the ability to exercise their fifth-year option after the 2023 season, but many players opt to pursue their next big extension before the 11th hour.
This time next year, the team will essentially be out of time and after a long season, a negotiation at the buzzer is what most want to avoid.
