Howie Roseman wanted to strike first, and he did, signing All-Pro quarterback Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $255 million deal with $179 million guaranteed.
The deal has a no-trade clause for Hurts and allowed Philadelphia to reset the quarterback market ahead of the 2023 NFL draft.
Joe Burrow & Justin Herbert have a new salary floor of $51M per year. The last 3 big QB extensions are for 5 new years (Kyler Murray, Russell Wilson & Jalen Hurts). I'm curious to see if Burrow or Herbert reverse the trend & get 4 year extensions, which used to be the norm. https://t.co/ZIosRXCaqn

The move gives the Bengals, Chargers, and Ravens a contract floor.

Roseman struck first, essentially costing three franchises more money.
Have to see details of Hurts deal, but Eagles strategy clear:
1. Get in before Burrow and Herbert.
2. Throw big signing bonus in front of him, huge $ vs. scheduled rookie contract salary of peanuts.
3. Have big average (>50M) in order to avoid the Watson full guarantee issue.— Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) April 17, 2023

Yesterday’s price is not today’s price for three other quarterbacks.
When Lamar Jackson became eligible for a new deal, the highest paid QB in the NFL was Patrick Mahomes at $45M per year (on a 10-year extension) and then Dak Prescott at $40M.
The market is now at $51M per year. And it's only going up. 📈 pic.twitter.com/D5Fn4FgK9o

The Cowboys are watching, but it doesn’t matter because Hurts has moved past Prescott.
Jalen Hurts’ new contract averages $51 million per season. This deal will certainly impact Dak Prescott’s next contract. Dak’s current deal, which has two seasons remaining, averages $40 million per season https://t.co/laaPSo3RV3

The Eagles plan to continue utilizing Hurts to the fullest extent, and NextGenStats breaks down why the designed runs are so important.
The Eagles have signed Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $225 million contract that makes him the highest-paid player in NFL history (per @RapSheet and @TomPelissero).
Hurts generated +36.2 EPA on designed runs in 2022, the most by any QB in a season since 2016.@JalenHurts | @Eagles pic.twitter.com/5Yf0VHTBlb
