Eagles News: Jalen Carter in line for the next record-setting defensive tackle contract

Jalen Carter sits on the verge of a record-breaking defensive-tackle contract as the Philadelphia Eagles shift spending toward defense ahead of the 2026 season. Reports suggest a deal in the $32–35 million per year range, reflecting the Eagles’ strategy to lock in young, impactful players. Carter’s 2025 season included a controversial ejection for spitting on Dak Prescott and multiple injuries, yet he earned his second straight Pro Bowl. With top free agents such as Jeffery Simmons and Quinnen Williams available after 2027, a competitive bidding landscape is expected, and Philadelphia could finalize a landmark deal before the 2026 campaign.
