Maybe. But it's effectively a 4 year deal.
He'll have some dents/dings in there but if he's healthy enough to take the ball in January, it's not one of those 6-8 year deals that can really sabotage a team.
Given the QB market, this seems like a fair deal for all sides. I mean its insanely high, but that's the market. But the Eagles have some protection by having it be relatively short term.
