Jalen Carter poised for record-setting contract as offseason approaches

Jalen Carter of the Philadelphia Eagles is anticipated to be in line for a record-setting contract as the 2026 NFL offseason approaches. Sources suggest his extension could fall between $32 million and $35 million per season, reflecting his status as one of the top young defensive tackles in the league despite a disrupted 2025 season that included an ejection and missed games due to injuries. Carter made the Pro Bowl for the second consecutive year, highlighting his impact on the field. The Eagles are expected to shift their spending focus from offense to defense in the coming year, paving the way for Carter's potential record deal, either from the Eagles or another team likely to trade for him.
