The Philadelphia Eagles have shattered records, signing Jalen Carter to a massive $152 million extension. This four-year deal makes him the league’s highest-paid interior defensive lineman. With $106 million guaranteed, Carter remains a Philadelphia powerhouse through 2031. While this historic investment creates significant salary cap pressure, the Eagles are betting big that his elite pass-rushing dominance will secure future championship rings.
