The New York Giants may have already signed their own quarterback to a big offseason deal, but the Philadelphia Eagles stole the show today, making history with quarterback Jalen Hurts. 

Per multiple reporters at NFL Media, the Eagles have signed Hurts to the biggest deal in the history of the NFL. 

Hurts gets $110M fully guaranteed at signing (third-most ever) and $126.5M fully gtd before Year 2 (second-most).

He gets a raise this year, including a $23.294M signing bonus, and now is signed through 2028 on a deal that lets Philly keep the team intact. https://t.co/iEkNoiwcsx

Now anyone who has watched Hurts since his days at Alabama will note that this player has come a long, long way since his days with the Crimson Tide. 

Once benched for Tua Tagovailoa in the national championship game, Hurts has developed both as a quarterback and a person since that game, showing that his character, work ethic, and now, quarterback play is unquestionable. 

But here is the issue with the Hurts contract and why Giants fans should be jumping for Joy. 

Hurts played his best year by far, answering any questions about whether or not he can be a franchise player. 

But a former scout once laid out the two types of signal callers in the league. 

He said there are trucks (quarterbacks that pull the team up) and trailers (quarterbacks that ride with the coaching staff and players around him). 

Well, I don't know about you, but Hurts comes off as the trailer type to me. 

Hurts played in an offense that was top five in rushing offense, tied for 20th in sacks allowed, was second in both first downs and rushing first downs, has one of the best offensive lines in football, and two 1000-yard receivers in AJ Brown and Devonta Smith. 

I don't bring this up to say I don't believe Hurts isn't good. I think his development is right up there with Josh Allen when it comes to re-writing draft narratives. But imagine if Daniel Jones had the offensive line and pass catchers that Hurts had last season. 

Someone noted for similar work ethic and play style, are we sure Jones wouldn't be noted as a potential MVP candidate and one of the best stories in the league? 

I'm not. In fact, I think Jones would thrive in similar ways to Hurts. 

But that's not the point. The point is, the Eagles already have felt the cost of this contract, having to part ways with key staters including C.J Gardner-Johnson, Isacc Seumalo, and Javon Hargrave in preparation for Hurts' new deal. 

A defense that compiled the most sacks in the league and finished top five in turnovers, their impact will be missed in 2023. 

And maybe the Eagles believe that Hurts is good enough to override the roster deficiencies that will begin to show. 

After all, it hasn't been wise to bet against Hurts but at some point, when the quarterback takes up most of your cap, he better be able to put the team on his back and get you to the Super Bowl. 

The Eagles will soon find out if Hurts is built for that.
