The Philadelphia Eagles have long been known for their strength in the trenches, and they’ve just secured the future of one of their standout offensive linemen. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the team has signed Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens to a four-year, $68 million contract extension, including $39.4 million guaranteed. This deal keeps him in Philadelphia through the 2029 season.
The Eagles confirmed the agreement, ensuring long-term stability on the offensive line. Jurgens stepped into a starting role last season after veteran Jason Kelce’s retirement, starting 16 games and earning Pro Bowl honors. At just 26 years old, Jurgens became the youngest Eagles center to make the Pro Bowl since Ken Farragut in 1953, and he’s only beginning to show his full potential.
His impact was clear throughout the season. Jurgens played a major role in helping Saquon Barkley set an NFL record with 2,504 rushing yards, including postseason games. Overall, the Eagles’ rushing offense posted a historic total of 3,866 yards — the most in league history.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts praised Jurgens for his consistency and growth, especially after overcoming early doubts. “He’s been great all year,” Hurts said. “He started the season with one bad snap, but battled through the criticism and ended up being a Pro Bowler.”
Jurgens expressed gratitude for the honor, noting his ongoing drive for improvement. “I feel like I’ve had a lot of support from great teammates,” he said. “I just kept learning and getting better each game. It’s a huge honor. Not everyone gets to experience this.”
With Jurgens anchoring the offensive line, the Eagles hope to replicate last season’s success and make another push for the Super Bowl.
