Jalen Carter absent from Eagles minicamp as contract talks loom

Jalen Carter missed team drills during the Eagles' mandatory minicamp on June 10, with head coach Nick Sirianni not clarifying if the absence was due to injury, contract issues, or workload management. Carter is recovering from shoulder procedures and is crucial to the Eagles' defense. As a two-time Pro Bowler, he has a fifth-year option worth over $27 million, with discussions around a potential future contract exceeding $40 million per season. The team's decision on Carter's contract, especially considering other key defenders like Moro Ojomo, will impact their long-term financial strategy.
