Philadelphia Eagles To Work On Massive Extension With Star QB This Off-Season

The Philadelphia Eagles just dominated the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 31-7, en route to their second Super Bowl appearance in the past five seasons, but before the game, news emerged that will no doubt make their fans ecstatic. 

That would be regarding their young, superstar Quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was drafted at No. 53 overall back in 2020, meaning that he doesn't have the 5th-year option like first-round QB's, so the two sides have begun working on a massive extension.

Unlike QBs selected in the 1st round, Hurts doesn't have a 5th-year option on his contract, so there's more urgency to get a deal done. pic.twitter.com/R16N0dC7iF

Given the contracts handed to the likes of DeShaun Watson, Kyler Murray and others in recent years, Hurts is going to make a lot of money on his next deal, and while it's likely to not come until after the Super Bowl, this is great news for the Eagles franchise.
