Eagles, Cam Jurgens agree to four-year extension that reportedly makes him one of NFL’s highest-paid centers

The Philadelphia Eagles are the standard when it comes to paying and retaining talent, and they have now struck a deal with one of the most important players on their offensive line. On Monday, the franchise announced that it had agreed to a four-year extension with center Cam Jurgens. Jurgens will get $68 million over four years, including $39.4 million guaranteed, per ESPN.

Jurgens had one more year remaining on his rookie contract, and is now reportedly tied to Philly through the 2029 season. The new average annual value of $17 million makes Jurgens the No. 2 highest-paid center in the NFL behind Creed Humphrey of the Kansas City Chiefs. The 25-year-old Jurgens was called upon to replace the legendary Jason Kelce this past season, and did so successfully. He earned Pro Bowl honors while the Eagles went on to dominate the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

Jurgens was selected by the Eagles with the No. 51 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Nebraska, and he has started in 27 of 44 career games played.

This is a developing story.
