Philadelphia Eagles Trade Jalen Carter To 49ers For Massive Haul In Blockbuster Proposal That Would Shake The NFL

Philadelphia trading talk centers on a proposed blockbuster that would send defensive tackle Jalen Carter from the Eagles to the San Francisco 49ers. The article notes Philadelphia drafted Carter from Georgia in 2023 with the No. 9 overall pick, and since then he has made two Pro Bowls and earned All-Pro second-team recognition, including a role in the Eagles’ run to the Super Bowl in 2024. While Carter turned 25 recently and the question of moving such an impact player is raised, the report says FOX has floated a trade framework. Under the proposal, the Eagles would receive a 2027 first-round pick, a 2027 third-round pick, and a 2028 first-round pick. The piece adds that Philadelphia already acquired a 2028 first-rounder and a 2027 fifth-rounder in the A.J. Brown trade. Contract details are also central: Carter is in the final year of his rookie deal, a four-year fully guaranteed $21.8 million contract signed in 2023, with a 2026 annual salary of $5,451,504 and a cap hit of $6,938,300. The Eagles picked up a fifth-year option worth $27 million, but the team is reportedly hesitant due to shoulder injuries and concerns about character, citing a 2025 Eagles opener incident versus the Dallas Cowboys.
