At an average annual salary of $51 million a year, Jalen Hurts is the first quarterback to make over $50 million in a season and win the Super Bowl. The previous record belonged to Patrick Mahomes, who makes an average of $45 million a season with the Kansas City Chiefs (Mahomes won the two prior Super Bowls before Hurts).

ESPN’s Matt Bowen recently released his list of best team fits for the top 50 free agents, ranking Wilson at No. 42 and linking him to the Giants. While New York is widely expected to select a quarterback with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Bowen believes Wilson could serve as a valuable bridge option.
