Here’s why Joe Burrow’s next contract won’t look like Jalen Hurts’ deal

It now looks like the Cleveland Browns failed to reshape the QB market with Deshaun Watson’s fully-guaranteed contract.

Jalen Hurts, who just took his team to the Super Bowl, signed a deal this offseason that made him the highest-paid player ever. But only $179 million of the $255 million in his contract is guaranteed.

Even better for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles is the fact that VP Howie Roseman structured the deal in a way that keeps their Super Bowl window wide open (from a cap perspective) for at least four more years.
