The Eagles drafted Jalen Carter with the 9th overall pick and if he was going to be included in a potential Garrett package, then turning down that offer signals a long term expectation for Carter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With media members like\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chase_senior\/status\/2067715417024459044?s=46&amp;t=24LxidgrM2-rSyMVzjpzHg\">Chase Senior\u00a0<\/a>suggesting the Eagles need to trade even more in a package for a player like Maxx Crosby, who lacks the stats, awards and impact that Garrett has had in recent years puts us in what feels like another A.J Brown \/ Dianna Russini situation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although rumors might be there and make believe can get a little crazy, action always speaks louder than words.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5th Year Option<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was late April when the Eagles exercised the 5th year option for DT Jordan Davis. Drafted a year prior to Carter, Davis was entering his 4th year with the team when the 5th year was picked up. Following the 2025 season, Davis was promptly extended to a 3-year, $78M contract before free agency opened.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under contract for a total of 4 years. One Georgia Bulldog will be remaining with the Eagles until 2029 and I expect Carter to follow suit.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there\u2019s word that the contract could be monumental in comparison to Will Anderson($50M) Micah Parsons($45M) or even Myles Garrett($41M). There\u2019s also an impact due to the stats and awards these players have already received. Similar comparisons could look towards the current top of the defensive tackle contracts. Dexter Lawrence signed an extension with the Bengals that added an additional 1-year, $28M to his already existing contract. Or former Eagles DT Milton Williams signing a 4-year, $104M deal with New England.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, the Titans extended Jeffery Simmons to a 3-year, $105.8M contract. With 11 Sacks in 2025, with 4 Pro Bowl nods and multiple All-Pro selections. Simmons became the highest paid Defensive Tackle in terms of average salary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With several comparable contracts to what the Eagles could offer Carter within the next year and a half, where do you have his contract valued?<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\" style=\"margin-top:4px;margin-bottom:10px\">Discover more from Philadelphia Sports Nation<\/h3>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"margin-top:10px;margin-bottom:10px;font-size:15px\">Subscribe to get the latest posts sent to your email.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"single-tags\">Tags: AJ Brown Eagles Georgia Bulldog Jalen Carter Jeffery Simmons Jordan Davis Maxx Crosby Micah Parsons Milton Williams Myles Garrett NFL Philadelphia Eagles Will Anderson <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"categories single-categories\">Categorized:Eagles<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Eagles There\u2019s increasing reports that the Eagles are hesitant to extend Jalen Carter.
