The Philadelphia Eagles have agreed a four-year contract extension with defensive tackle Jalen Carter, worth a reported $152 million and running through 2031, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history. The deal comes after a turbulent start to the 2025 season for Carter, who was ejected from the campaign's opening game for spitting at Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, but marks a significant show of faith and financial commitment from the Eagles ahead of this season.

The extension includes a reported $106 million in guaranteed money, underlining the scale of Philadelphia's investment in retaining the young defensive lineman. The deal cements Carter's place as a cornerstone of the Eagles' defence for the coming years and sets a new benchmark for pay at his position across the league.
