The first of the quarterback extensions has dropped. The Philadelphia Eagles signed QB Jalen Hurts to a five-year, $255 million extension to kick off the week.

The Eagles were adamant that getting an extension done for Hurts was a priority this offseason. It comes at the perfect time, as Hurts is heading into his final year of his rookie contract.

The extension includes $179.304 million in guarantees, a no-trade clause, and up to $15 million in additional incentives.

On the heels of a Super Bowl appearance and an MVP-caliber season, it'll be interesting to see how Hurts rebounds in 2023. With a strong core on the roster, the Eagles are set up for success with Hurts.

I talk more about Hurts' deal and what it means for the other QBs in line for an extension in Monday's Patreon episode.

more QB news:

  • With pre-draft visits continuing through Wednesday, Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson will meet with the Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, and Baltimore Ravens this week. The Titans is the most intriguing one, as they are rumored to be one of the teams who would be most likely to trade up to the No. 3 spot - potentially to grab Richardson. Atlanta picks at No. 8, and the Ravens could be looking for a replacement for Lamar Jackson, should he not sign the franchise tag.
  • Speaking of Jackson, he is not expected to attend Baltimore's voluntary offseason program, as he hasn't signed the tag. No reason to panic now, but if he does not attend mandatory workouts and/or minicamp, we can start to wonder if he will attend training camp this summer.
  • Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs began their offseason program virtually, and they're doing the same in 2023. QB Patrick Mahomes has gathered teammates in Texas to work out together as they check in with coaches and other personnel via Zoom.
  • Bryce Young has canceled his remaining pre-draft visits. Young has already visited with the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans, which is likely where he'll be selected next week.
    • Young is now an overwhelming favorite to be drafted first overall.

  • Betting odds suggest Georgia QB Stetson Bennett will go undrafted.
  • Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert had shoulder surgery (in his non-throwing arm) to repair a torn labrum this offseason. While he's made progress and has worked on stretching in rehab, his participation in OTAs isn't a sure thing, yet. "We're going to listen to the doctors," head coach Brandon Staley said.
  • Zach Wilson was present for the first day of New York Jets offseason workouts.
