Philadelphia Eagles lock up Jalen Carter with record $152 M extension

Jalen Carter Philadelphia Eagles contract extension highest‑paid defensive tackle $152 million

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to a four‑year contract extension with defensive tackle Jalen Carter worth $152 million, potentially rising to $160 million and including $106 million guaranteed. The deal runs through the 2031 season and gives Carter an average annual value of $38 million, making him the highest‑paid defensive tackle in NFL history. Carter, the ninth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, is a two‑time Pro Bowl selection and a Super Bowl champion who recorded 13½ sacks in 43 career games. The Eagles also re‑signed interior defensive tackle Jordan Davis to a three‑year, $78 million extension earlier in the offseason, bringing the team’s guaranteed commitments for its interior linemen to $171 million.

Off the field, Carter was involved in a fatal street‑racing crash in Georgia before the 2023 draft that killed a teammate and a recruiting staffer. He pleaded no contest to reckless‑driving charges, received a year of probation and a $1,000 fine, and later was fined for spitting at Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott during a 2025 game.
