Jalen Hurts' agent sends $255,000,000 reminder after Eagles' MNF win over Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs
Following a clutch victory on Monday Night Football, Jalen Hurts' agent took to X to praise her star client and his massive, $255 million contract. Hurts was at one point in the offseason the NFL's highest-paid player, and Nicole Lynn, his agent, believes that win and a sterling 9-1 start mean that the quarterback was more than worth the money.
Lynn said on X, formerly known as Twitter:
"Worth every penny!"
It wasn't a pretty game on either side, but Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles emerged victorious. A Brotherly Shove score from Hurts put them up after he threw a dime to Devonta Smith on the goalline.
The Eagles needed a wide open drop on what would have been a 51-yard game-winner from Patrick Mahomes, but a win is a win. Hurts does that frequently, as he is 32-12 in his NFL career.
Where does Jalen Hurts rank among NFL's highest-paid QBs?
Jalen Hurts is currently the sixth-highest paid quarterback in the NFL based on his contract's sum of $255 million. In terms of AAV, he is the fourth-highest.
Only a few quarterbacks, like Joe Burrow, Justin Herbert, and Lamar Jackson, make more in a season than Hurts does presently.
