In a jaw-dropping move that has stunned fans and shaken the NFC landscape, Jalen Hurts is officially the new face of the New Orleans Saints after inking a $76.5 million deal.
The former Eagles quarterback, known for his dual-threat dominance and poised leadership, announced his signing at a surprise press conference in downtown New Orleans, flanked by Saints GM Mickey Loomis and head coach Kellen Moore.
“This city deserves a winner,” Hurts said. “I’m ready to make my mark in the black and gold.”
The deal spans three years with a reported $45 million guaranteed — a bold investment in the Saints’ future as they seek to revive their playoff dreams and usher in a new era of offense.
Insiders say Hurts had multiple offers on the table but was drawn to Moore’s aggressive system, the young talent on the Saints roster, and the chance to build his legacy in a franchise rich with history.
Former Saints stars — including Drew Brees — have already reacted on social media, calling the signing “a new beginning” for a team that’s craved consistency under center since the Brees era ended.
