Eagles sign Jalen Carter to record four-year contract extension

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed defensive tackle Jalen Carter to a four-year, $152 million extension on July 28, 2026. The deal makes Carter the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history, with $106 million guaranteed. General manager Howie Roseman acted early to negotiate the contract, potentially avoiding larger costs in the future as the market for elite players continues to rise. Philadelphia also exercised Carter's fifth-year option, keeping him under team control through 2027. There are risks involved, as the Eagles need Carter to maintain strong performance and avoid injuries or disciplinary issues to justify the hefty deal.
