Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts reportedly struggled to handle the pressure that came with signing a five-year, $255 million extension ahead of last season, according to NFL reporter Derrick Gunn.

Per that report, Hurts was "pulled in numerous directions" on and off the field after inking the extension, which came in the wake of an excellent 2022 season that saw him finish as the MVP runner-up to Patrick Mahomes and lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl.
