Word is that he was going to hold out for more, but his offensive line pushed him to sign.

Nevermind. Good joke.

Did you see the shit season he had prior? One season doesn't make you a great one. Is Flacco great? is Dilfer great? Was Rypien great? Was Jake Delhome great? One season wonders happen.

Just saying he will have to be better than he has been with that contract and I don't think he will.

Yeah I was really impressed by his poise and maturity. Never looked shook or looked like the game and moment was too big for him. Nothing less than a flawless game was going to beat him and the Eagles that night. Any other AFC team would've fallen.

Hey Lamar, come over here, no really I want to show you something, see it? Its a contract, you know what that is right? Its pretty good isnt it? Lots of money for a long time, yeah?
YOU COULD HAVE HAD THIS CONTRACT, WHY DID YOU NOT SIGN A CONTRACT, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? IM GONNA SEND YOU SOME UHAULS SO YOU MOVE OUT OF BALTIMORE...EHHHH in my best Kennison voice

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Eagles’ QB Jalen Hurts’ salary-cap numbers for the next four seasons after today’s $255 million extension:<br><br>��2023: $6.15 million<br>��2024: $13.56 million<br>��2025: $21.77 million<br>��2026: $31.77 million</p>&mdash; Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) <a href="https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1648101167619100683?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 17, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

That’s not bad at all.

So that looks like three years of very inexpensive QB play. Well done by Roseman.

That's only 83 million and some change? Where's the rest?

Edit: Nevermind, starts after this year, I guess.

Those numbers don’t add up but that’s a hell of a deal for roseman. Jalen probably happy since it’s largely injury guaranteed.

I’m guessing in 2027 there’s one guaranteed bonus due. The kind of bonus that would be impossible to pay off in 1-2 years so they probably HAVE to give him a 4-5 year extension.

So maybe not that different from mahomes’ contract except way more backloaded. And unlike hurts, mahomes already locked in the end of his contract. Pretty risky for the eagles because a serious injury will stick them with a gigantic bill they can’t get out of. But makes sense that Philly feels their window is now even if it “hurts” later

I'm looking at it as if we still don't have all the details yet. This guy posted just one facet of the deal, that being the cap hit for the next four years. Probably we'll get the reset of the details they want to disseminate over the next week or so.

that's the other reason why I don't spend much time looking at contracts; they never tell you all the details.

Either howie roseman got an insanely good deal (created a dummy 5th year with a gigantic salary they don’t intend to pay. Just so Jalen can brag it’s $51m)

Or they’re guaranteeing a huge bonus in a late year which will force them to restructure. And when they restructure they HAVE to make it an extension because it’s too steep to pay off in 2 years.

I bet it’s somewhere in between.

My guess is that Roseman put together as good a 'team-friendly' deal as he could. We'll find out more details over the next few days/weeks, but I'm confident that Roseman isn't an idiot.

The cap is too easily manipulated

Making him the perfect match for the Chargers.
