The Philadelphia Eagles agree to a four-year contract extension with defensive tackle Jalen Carter, announced as a record-setting deal. Multiple reports say the extension is worth $152 million and makes Carter the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history. The agreement keeps him with the team through the 2031 season, with coverage noting that the contract comes as Carter enters the fourth year of his rookie deal and ends any speculation about the Eagles’ long-term commitment.
CBS Sports reports that the deal includes $106 million guaranteed, while other outlets frame the total value as potentially higher, with one report describing the agreement as worth up to $160 million. Yahoo Sports also quotes Eagles general manager Howie Roseman as indicating there is “no hesitation” about the extension. Several sources describe Carter as one of the league’s top young defenders, noting that he has been selected to each of the last two Pro Bowls.
Overall, outlets consistently report the same core facts: the Eagles reach agreement with Carter on a four-year, market-resetting extension announced in early week, extending his contract through 2031 and making him the top-paid defensive tackle by average pay and/or total value, depending on the reported figure.
