The Eagles are signing two-time Pro Bowl selection Jalen Carter to a four-year, $152 million extension worth up to $160 million, agents Drew Rosenhaus and Jason Rosenhaus told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
This news is huge for football fans, and it's a big deal for the Eagles organization as they lock down one of their key players.

Will the Eagles be able to make a deep playoff run with Carter leading their defense? How will other teams respond to this new contract benchmark, and will we see a surge in big-money deals for defensive players? The NFL is always full of surprises, but one thing is for sure - Jalen Carter's record-breaking contract is going to be a major storyline to follow in the weeks and months to come.
