#Eagles are “hesitant to pay” star DT Jalen Carter, who’s under contract for the next two seasons with his 2027 5th-year option included, per Albert Breer. 

“The answer is yes, they are hesitant to pay him. Philadelphia is telling you what you need to know with its actions. The Eagles have always been aggressive paying their own, in large part because they know that the earlier you do the deal, the better the price you’ll get. It’s a strategy that takes commitment from ownership, which Philly clearly has (some owners would rather keep money in their accounts until the summer), and has served the team very well over the years,” Breer said. 

“So the fact that we’re into June without Jalen Carter having a deal is notable. And I’d guess if they do one now, before his fourth season as a pro, then it’d come with flexibility for the team. If Carter won’t give them that flexibility now, maybe he’ll just wait another year. Which would make this a little like the George Pickens situation in Dallas-where a team might want to see a little more from a player, just from a character perspective, before committing long term.”

Carter, 25, is expected to receive an extension worth over $30M per year whenever his deal gets done, but it appears the Eagles want to see more from him on and off the field before committing that much money. 

Carter’s production in his first three seasons: 
◽️ 2023: 33 total tackles, 20 solo, 8 TFL, 6 sacks, 8 TFL, 2 FF, 1 FR returned for a TD
◽️ 2024: 42 total tackles, 25 solo, 12 TFL, 4.5 sacks, 6 PBUs, 2 FF
◽️ 2025: 33 total tackles, 21 solo, 5 TFL, 3 sacks, 7 PBUs
