Eagles Make Power Move, Lock In Jurgens with $68M Extension

Well, that didn’t take long.

The Eagles are wasting zero time securing the heart of their offensive line for the long haul. On Monday, Philly locked in center Cam Jurgens with a four-year, $68 million extension—$39.4 million of it guaranteed. That’s a serious bag, and it’s well earned.

If anyone had doubts about who’d take over for Jason Kelce, Jurgens has silenced all of them—and then some.

The 25-year-old stepped into the starting role in 2024 and instantly became a force. He started 19 games, held down the middle through the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX run, and even snagged a Pro Bowl selection in the process. You couldn’t script a better start to a post-Kelce era.

And now? He’s officially the second-highest-paid center in the NFL. Not bad for a guy just three years into his career.

Jurgens’ growth has been nothing short of impressive. Drafted in 2022 out of Nebraska, he was seen as a project at first—a raw, athletic guy with upside. But learning behind a legend like Kelce clearly paid off. The Eagles knew what they were doing.

This extension is more than just a contract—it’s a statement. Philly is committed to building from the trenches out. With Jurgens joining fellow linemen Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, and Lane Johnson on long-term deals, the Eagles are creating one of the most stable, powerful O-lines in football.

Bottom line? This move keeps the Eagles’ offense strong, smart, and nasty up front—just how Philly likes it.
