![]() ![]() The repercussion is that Hurts will now be resetting the quarterback market. If the Giants used it on Jones, then Barkley would have become a free agent, leaving the Giants without a top-notch running back. ![]() Teams can only place the tag on one player, so it made obvious sense for the Giants to use it on Barkley because the tag for a running back is $10.1 million. "That is mind-boggling to me." /tGAXLJqHVR can’t get over Daniel Jones’ potential contract that could pay him over $40M per year □ Yet Jones had all the power because the Giants wanted to place the franchise tag on running back Saquon Barkley, which they did after Jones agreed to his deal. Yes, that Daniel Jones whose career record is 21-31-1, who has a career passer rating of 86.5, and who has 57 turnovers in 64 games. So Hurts will no doubt surpass the Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes (average annual value $45 million per season), Cleveland's Deshaun Watson (fully guaranteed $46 million per season), Arizona's Kyler Murray ($46 million), Denver's Russell Wilson ($49 million), and Rodgers − and whatever team his recently completed darkness retreat leads him to. The franchise tag for quarterbacks is $32 million for this coming season, all of which counts on the salary cap.

But Jones' deal was the proverbial icing on the cake. This was already shaping up as a good week for Hurts. So now Hurts has a benchmark − Jones' deal, plus a lot more. That can only help Hurts because the Eagles want to sign him to a contract extension during this offseason. As of now, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers has an average annual value of $50 million as he shops around for his next team.īut Jones is not nearly as good as Rodgers, and he's also not nearly as good as Hurts. And that will most likely make Hurts the highest paid quarterback in the NFL − for a little while anyway. That, more than anything else, will set the market for Hurts' next contract. There is reportedly an extra $35 million in incentives, which can bring that average even higher. The NFL Network reported that Jones will sign a four-year deal worth as much as $160 million for an average annual value of $40 million per year for a quarterback who is right around average. Jones, 25, would’ve been the youngest QB ever to get the franchise tag … which they’ll now use on Saquon Barkley instead. The #Giants are signing QB Daniel Jones to a new four-year, $160 million contract with $35 million in incentives, per source. ![]()
