In the offseason following a fairy tale first season with the Los Angeles Rams, Matthew Stafford was retained on a four-year, $160 million extension. At the time, the move was an easy one after Stafford had led LA on a Super Bowl run for the ages.
The transaction is appearing to be more and more of a bargain now that Jalen Hurts has become the highest-paid player in league history...until Joe Burrow or Justin Herbert inevitably surpasses him.
The #Eagles and Jalen Hurts agreed to terms on a 5-year, $255M contract extension that makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.
