The Philadelphia Eagles made a major commitment to Jalen Hurts in the form of a massive contract extension. But while Hurts might be making more money this season, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman doesn't think it'll affect his play on the field.

Philadelphia gave Hurts a five-year, $255 million extension. After getting paid, some players don't feel the need to put in as much work pre-contract. However, Roseman knows Hurts isn't one of those players. Roseman stated that the quarterback's new extension came in part due to Hurts' dedication to football and dedication to bringing another Super Bowl to Philadelphia, via John Clark of NBC Sports.

“Money is not going to change who Jalen Hurts is,” Roseman said.
