The National Football League is a professional American football league that consists of 32 teams, divided equally between the American Football Conference and the National Football Conference.
Who is the highest-paid NFL player in 2023?
On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that quarterback Jalen Hurts had agreed to a five-year, $255 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid player in the history of the National Football League.
The arrangement remembers the main no-exchange proviso for Bird’s establishment history and $179 million ensured,
remembering $110 million for the marking of the arrangement. Each season, Hurts will earn $51 million on average.
Hurts, who was selected in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, quickly developed a reputation as a dual-threat quarterback who was able to defeat opposing teams by running and throwing the ball.
Hurts led the Eagles to the Super Bowl last year, where they were defeated 38-35 by the Kansas City Chiefs led by Patrick Mahomes. Hurts also ran for 13 scores.
After Mahomes, who signed a contract extension for ten years worth $450 million in 2020, Hurts’ deal is the second largest in terms of total cash ever.
Hurts’ parents are Pamela and Averion Hurts. Hurts has two siblings: a younger sister, Kynnedy, and an older brother, Averion, named after their father.
Jalen’s brother, Averion, was the starting quarterback for Texas Southern University and is now a college football coach at the University of Alabama.
As of Hurts’ freshman year, one of his parents attended his football game every week, while the other attended Averion’s game.
