This move will immediately illicit hot takes about a quarterback battle, or this trade will harm Hurts’ psyche. That’s a moot point, and Pickett’s arrival will be a non-factor for QB1.
According to Joel Corry, via Over The Cap, the Eagles’ 10-day window to pick up an option on quarterback Jalen Hurts’ dummy 2029 contract year opens up. The team will make a $38.875 million payment that reduces the star quarterback’s 2024 base salary from a fully guaranteed $40 million to a fully guaranteed $1.125 million with the option being exercised.
Additionally, $16.5 million more of Hurts’ 2025 base salary is fully guaranteed.
His entire $51 million 2025 base salary was guaranteed for injury at signing, while $3.696 million of this $51 million was fully guaranteed at signing, meaning he’s here to stay.
