Cam Jurgens, the replacement of Jason Kelce at the Center for the Philadelphia Eagles, concluded an agreement on a huge new contract of $ 68 million.
Jurgens was an essential element of the winning team of the Super Bowl in Philly earlier this year, and he is now harvesting the awards to take over from the legendary Kelce.
In its new four -year extension, it is guaranteed of $ 39.4 million, according to Adam Schefter, and will be attached by the team until the end of the 2029 season.
Jurgens, 25, was drafted by the Eagles of Nebraska with the 51st choice of the 2022 draft, and had to wait for his turn behind Kelce, who was the starter in Philadelphia for 13 years.
After Kelce’s emotional retirement before the 2024 season, Jurgens took his starter place and helped the Eagles go to the Super Bowl, where they beat the Chiefs of Kansas City to New Orleans.
He also won the honors of the pro bowl in his first year as a starter, and was now rewarded by becoming the second best paid center in the NFL, behind Creed Humphrey des Chiefs.
This decision is just the last of the Eagles Front Office to ensure that their offensive line is strong, with a series of huge money transactions awarded in the last 12 months.
Before the $ 68 million jurgens contract, Jordan Mailata signed an agreement of $ 66 million over three years, Landon Dickerson agreed on a $ 84 million contract over four years and Lane Johnson will collect $ 25 million on an improved one year contract for 2025.
Jurgens will also be able to use his new impressive banking balance to stimulate his personal business – the sale of jerky beef.
Even before his arrival in the NFL, Jurgens – who has the Instagram handle @Beef_jurgy – built his brand, called “ Beef Jurgy Saccades, even distributing it to coaches of the NFL combination in the hope of obtaining a contract.
It seems that Nick Sirianni and the owner Jeffrey Lurie were to be fans.
This summer, Jurgens appreciated his offseason alongside Girlfriend Margaret, the couple recently going to Rome with friends.
In a series of images published on Margaret Instagram, the group posed in front of the Colosseum, went to a cooking class and appreciated a day of wine tasting.
