(Reuters) – Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts became the highest paid player in National Football League history after the quarterback agreed a five-year $255 million contract extension, the club said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The deal includes the first no trade clause in Eagles franchise history and $179 million guaranteed, including $110 million on the signing of the deal.<\/p>\n

Hurts average salary will be $51 million a season.<\/p>\n

“EXTENDED” screamed the headline on the team’s website followed by “Eagles, Hurts agree to five-year extension through 2028.”<\/p>\n

Taken in the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, Hurts quickly established himself as a dual threat quarterback able to beat teams throwing and running the ball.<\/p>\n

Last season Hurts threw 22 touchdowns and ran for 13 other scores, taking the Eagles to the Super Bowl where they fell 38-35 to the Patrick Mahomes-led Kansas City Chiefs.<\/p>\n

Hurts’ deal is the second largest ever in total cash behind Mahomes who signed a 10-year $450 million contract extension in 2020.<\/p>\n
