What happened: Philadelphia committed $230 million in base extension value to defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis this offseason. Carter's deal runs through 2031, while Davis is under contract through 2029.

Why it matters: The next round of negotiations shifts the roster-planning pressure from the defensive line to the secondary. Handling two eligible cornerbacks at once could shape Philadelphia's long-term allocation of defensive spending.

By the numbers: Carter's four-year extension carries a $152 million base value and $106 million guaranteed. Davis received a three-year, $78 million extension with $65 million guaranteed, bringing the combined guarantees to $171 million.

What to watch: Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean can open extension talks after the upcoming season. Philadelphia's timing and contract structure will determine whether both deals can advance together.
