Jalen Hurts might be in for a treat! The star quarterback of the Eagles has been playing phenomenal football throughout the season and has led the Eagles to the Super Bowl. Now that he has proven his potential, he might receive a multi-year contract from Chief executive Howie Roseman says Leigh Steinberg.
Yes, you heard it right, Steinberg, the same man responsible for Patrick Mahomes’s whopping $503 million contract. Leigh is a legendary agent who has been so influential that the movie “Jerry Maguire” was inspired by his life.
Now, he gives Michael Greger a statement that hints that Jalen Hurts might become a permanent part of the Eagles franchise.
Update: The #Eagles plan to negotiate what will likely be a massive contract extension for QB Jalen Hurts, per @RapSheet

What does Leigh Steinberg say to Michael Greger about Jalen Hurts?
While talking to Greger, Steinberg first asks an essential question, “is Jalen Hurts a franchise quarterback?” by which he means to ask whether Jalen is a player the team can count on and build around for the coming ten to twelve years. Leigh then goes on to answer his own question by stating,
“he certainly looks like a franchise quarterback to me. And they are really hard to find, and they don’t grow on trees.” Afterward, the legendary agent claims the quarterback negotiations to be smooth, and people can expect to see Hurts’ contract being extended “any time,” as Steinberg says,
“So, what you generally see, with the quarterback negotiations, with the exception of Lamar Jackson, is an easy, smooth process where you wake up one day and it’s just done. I think things like that will be done very smoothly behind the scenes and I think the timing could be any time.”
Later, Micheal posts a tweet regarding Jalen’s extension by sharing an insight of Leigh, where Mahomes’ agent shows that the Eagles are not afraid of making bold moves.

Eagle’s 🦅
Pulling for Jalen all the way.
DEFINITELY THE E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES to WIN SB LVII!!!
Pay these two young men for what they are worth and stop short changing them. Even after they’ve shown the world their worthyness and removed all doubt of their maturity, skill, talent and proof that they deserve just as much as anyone else to start as star quarterbacks in the Superbowl. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist nor drag your feet or be hesitant about the grandure of two talented African American young men going to show up and show out earning their way to the biggest stage in NFL in the Superbowl. There’s no need to hesitate, ponder, wonder, or think about their self worth that’s well deserved. Be fair and treat them well for being quarterbacks that will bring in one of the biggest if not the biggest revenue paydays in NFL Superbowl history! More power to Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes II for making first time history in African American Black History Month! Thank you to both of you for gracing us with y’all’s football knowledge and the love of football thanks to your parents directing, guiding, and leading you both in the right direction to stay on the right track straight and narrow not getting caught up with foolishness, mess, and nonsense. Continue to prove to all the doubters, haters and naysayers to do what you do best…. and that’s winning Superbowls! Be blessed stay safe.
Jalen Hurts
I like the Eagles Hurst is on a mission and looks unstoppable in both passing and rushing. With a solid recieving core and stable defense i think the Eagles have a pretty good chance to bring home the trophy but the Chiefs are no slouches either..Mahomles is the comeback kid and cannot be taken likely he can easily recover from a 3 score down to coming back and win and he also has go to weapons too.i think the Eagles have a better defense and defends the run good.But i gotta go with the Eagles all the way 👍
KC Chiefs all the way for sure
