Jalen Carter extension negotiations show different Eagles approach
Summary

Jalen Carter, Eagles' defensive tackle, has yet to reach a contract extension as of this summer. The organization, known for locking up young talent quickly, has taken a more cautious approach with Carter, who became eligible for an extension this offseason. Factors influencing the negotiations include Carter's past shoulder injuries, performance inconsistencies, and agent Drew Rosenhaus possibly seeking a higher-value deal. Philadelphia has previously restructured contracts to maintain flexibility, and while they exercised Carter's fifth-year option, a deal is still anticipated as they evaluate his ongoing development.
