Hurts addressed a news conference on Monday after penning the new deal and made clear that his mind was set firmly on hoisting the Lombardi Trophy for Philadelphia.
“Money is nice, championships are better,” said Hurts, who finished second to Mahomes in MVP voting last season.Hurts’ deal, the second-largest ever in total cash behind Mahomes’ 10-year $450 million contract extension in 2020, comes three years after the Eagles picked him up in the second round of the NFL Draft.
He saw little action early in his rookie season, before relieving benched starter Carson Wentz in December 2020.
“I truly love the game and I hate to lose,” said Hurts.
“I’ve just been on this constant quest to be the best player I can be with no limits. Just trying to be the best version of myself – the best player and leader and man I can be and that will never change.”
