What happened: The Philadelphia Eagles are signing Jalen Carter to a four-year, $152 million extension worth up to $160 million. The agreement includes $106 million guaranteed.

Why it matters: The guarantee gives Philadelphia a major long-term commitment at defensive tackle. Carter’s annual value establishes a new benchmark above the contracts for Simmons and Chris Jones.

What to watch: Carter and Philadelphia now head toward the 2026 season with the extension running through 2031.
