NFL fans are in shock after learning that Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts lives in a modest home, despite signing a $255 million contract extension last year.

Jalen Hurts completed his four-year rookie deal in 2023, so his $255 million extension kicks in this upcoming season. But he already has over $6 million in NFL earnings, per Spotrac, not to mention all the money he has made through endorsements.

So fans couldn’t believe it when Twitter/X user @polo_man404 explained that Hurts lives in a modest $200,000 home in Houston, Texas. Hurts stays at the house with his parents when he’s away from football:

Social media had plenty of interesting reactions to PoloMan’s tweet about Hurts’ $200K Houston home:

You always here stories of professional athletes immediately buying a mansion, fancy car and luxurious jewelry soon after they get their first paychecks. But Jalen Hurts is a model example of how rich and famous people don’t need to spend all their money lavishly to live a satisfying life.

Hurts just might decide to spend a little more as more and more money from that $255 million deal flows into his bank account. But the 25-year-old has learned at a young age that you won’t regret saving your money early.

Jalen Hurts’ Eagles Look To Bounce Back From Tough 2023 Season

Jalen Hurts and the defending NFC champions looked poised for another deep playoff run in 2023, jumping out to a 10-1 start. But the wheels unexpectedly came off in the second half, with Philly dropping five of their final six games.

The 11-6 finish forced Philly to open the postseason on the road against the NFC South division-winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who crushed the Eagles 32-9 to dethrone them as the conference champions.

Hurts and the Eagles will begin their redemption quest when they play the Green Bay Packers on Sept. 6 in São Paulo, the first-ever NFL game that will take place in the country of Brazil.
