Oh, boom, there it is, man.
What we've been waiting for all off-season.
On the first day of Eagles training camp, cha-ching.
Jalen Carter, $152 million extension over four years, worth up to 160.
So it's at 38 per year, could go up to 40, I'm guessing, based on incentives.
106 million guaranteed, and Howie Roseman gets it done at the buzzer.
Look, man, one of the best young defensive tackles in the game.
Two Pro Bowls in three seasons.
Super Bowl champion.
An easy double-digit sack guy.
Obviously hasn't got there.
He gets double-teamed every play.
But we know the talent is beyond us.
He just has to stay healthy.
He has to stay mature.
But this is a no-brainer.
I am surprised it took as long as it did.
Howie Roseman usually gets ahead of these things, right?
You had Jeffrey Simmons reset the market at, I believe, 35.
He got Jordan Davis done earlier this off-season at 26.
But now it's 38 million per year for Jalen Carter.
Well-deserved.
A franchise cornerstone, a young defensive weapon that will hopefully be here for now a very long time.
