Eagles' Jalen Carter set for lucrative contract amidst trade speculation

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter is expected to receive a contract extension worth between $32 million and $35 million per year before the start of the 2026 season. Although there is speculation about a potential trade involving Carter, with reports linking him to the Cleveland Browns in a deal for Myles Garrett, it appears the Eagles are more likely to pursue a long-term contract. Recent changes in the team's spending strategy may indicate a shift toward strengthening their defense. ESPN's Bill Barnwell suggests that while a record-setting deal for Carter is likely, the Eagles' general manager, Howie Roseman, may still explore trading options.
