Cam Jurgens just hit the jackpot. The Philadelphia Eagles centre has locked in a huge four-year contract extension worth $68 million, with a massive $39.4 million of that guaranteed. That means he’s sticking around in Philly until at least 2029, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
It’s well-earned, too. Jurgens is coming off a dream season—he not only helped the Eagles clinch a Super Bowl victory but also started in 16 games and landed a spot in the Pro Bowl for the first time. That kind of performance doesn’t go unnoticed, and it’s clear the Eagles see him as a key part of their future.
Jurgens’ journey to this point is pretty wild. Born and raised in Nebraska, he originally played as a tight end. But during his redshirt freshman season in college, he made the switch to centre—a move that ended up changing everything. He took to the position so well that he was drafted in the second round by the Eagles, and the rest is history.
He’s now played 44 games for the team, and with this new deal, he’s cementing his place as one of the top centres in the NFL. From a position change in college to a Super Bowl ring and a Pro Bowl nod, Jurgens’ rise has been nothing short of impressive.
We’ll have to wait and see what the next few years bring, but with a contract like this and his recent performances, it’s safe to say Jurgens is just getting started.
