Hurts' deal also has a no-trade clause and he became the first player in the Eagles' history to have a no-trade clause contract.The deal also includes $15 million in incentives that could pay Hurts $54 million per season. Quarterbacks Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, and Joe Burrow are next in line to get paid and it's interesting to see how Hurts' deal will affect their contracts.NFL fans reacted to the Eagles making Hurts the highest-paid player in the NFL.
