The Eagles and Cam Jurgens have reached an agreement on a four-year contract extension that will keep the Pro Bowl center in Philadelphia through the 2029 season. Jurgens, 25, was about to enter a contract season in 2025 and the Eagles made sure he's not going anywhere for a long time. Jurgens' four-year extension is worth $68 million with $39.
4 million guaranteed, according to multiple reports. That annual salary of $17 million makes Jurgens the second highest-paid center in the NFL behind just Creed Humphrey of the Chiefs. A 2022 second-round pick out of Nebraska, Jurgens had huge shoes to fill in 2024 after Jason Kelce retired.
Jurgens was up for the task. He was named a Pro Bowler in his first season as the Eagles' starting center and played through a painful back injury to help win Super Bowl LIX. Jurgens had surgery after the season and is expected to make a full recovery.
