Eagles lock up defensive tackle Jalen Carter with record contract extension

Philadelphia announced that defensive tackle Jalen Carter has agreed to a four-year contract extension reportedly valued at $152 million, with potential escalators raising the total to $160 million and $106 million guaranteed. The deal keeps Carter with the Eagles through the 2031 season and follows a similar long-term agreement for fellow interior lineman Jordan Davis, who signed a three-year, $78 million extension earlier in the offseason.

Analyst Mike Berman said the move was “a smart move for the Eagles,” calling Carter a “premium player” and “one of the best players in the league.” He added that the contract reflects the team’s strategy of securing foundational talent drafted in recent years.

The extension was confirmed as the Eagles began training camp at the Jefferson Health Training Complex, with Carter expected to remain a central piece of the defense under coordinators Clint Hurtt and Vic Fangio.
