Jalen Carter Trade Rumors Swirl Around Eagles

0:00NFL stories making news on March 9th. The Philadelphia Eagles are fielding trade calls for defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Drafted in 2023, he's locked in through 2026 with a fifth-year option. Carter has become a key part of their defense, earning a couple of pro-bowl nods and second team all pro-owners in 2024, that pro-bowl success bumped his fifth-year option up to $27.1 million. Meanwhile, the Eagles just gave another defensive tackle, Jordan Davis, a three-year extension averaging $26 million a year. Fans and analysts see these moves as a sign Carter might not stick around long-term. Each trade inquiry seems to boost his market value ahead of free agency. The team recently extended Davis, which has sparked talk that they're reshaping the defensive line without Carter in the picture. For now, Carter is owed $3.7 million in 2026, but who pays it remains up in the air. The Daily News Now is made possible with support from our sponsor.
