Philadelphia Eagles Sign Jalen Carter to Historic 4-Year Contract Extension
Jalen Carter’s deal includes $106 million guaranteed and tops the NFL’s defensive tackle market, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported.
- On Tuesday, July 28, 2026, the Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive tackle Jalen Carter to a four-year, $152 million extension with $106 million guaranteed, keeping him under contract through 2031.
- General manager Howie Roseman prioritized the extension to secure the defensive core after the 2025 season, targeting long-term deals for both Carter and fellow defensive tackle Jordan Davis.
- Carter's $38 million average annual salary makes him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history, surpassing Tennessee Titans veteran Jeffery Simmons' $35.2 million average annual value set in June.
- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio noted Carter's improved offseason preparation should aid his return to top form, as the player remains a disruptive force despite battling shoulder injuries in 2025.
- Drafted ninth overall in 2023, the 25-year-old still possesses significant untapped potential; the long-term commitment positions Carter as the cornerstone of the Eagles' defensive front through 2031.
