Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links …
Jalen Carter and the Eagles struck a deal. What’s next for the franchise and NFL’s highest-paid DT? – The Athletic Berman: This was a smart move for the Eagles. Carter is a premium player — a true blue-chip talent with the upside to be the defensive player of the year, and those players are hard to find. He’s a building block for the Eagles. It’s a steep price, but it wasn’t going to go down. I was surprised that it stretched this far, but it was still his first offseason as an offseason-eligible player for a new deal. That’s how the Eagles have operated with their foundational players drafted in recent years, from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith to Landon Dickerson to Cam Jurgens. His influence on the defense cannot be measured by his statistics. When Carter is at his best, he can change a game. (Sean McVay might have another Super Bowl if not for the way Carter played against the Rams on the final drive in the NFC divisional round playoff game in 2025.) The Eagles can and should expect more from him — whether it’s consistency or maturity — and my guess is that was part of the calculation in the investment. It’s incumbent upon Carter to understand as much. The Eagles made clear how much they valued him with this record-breaking deal. Carter is one of the best players in the league. The Eagles were smart to be aggressive.
Jalen Carter Extended – Iggles Blitz Carter’s best football is ahead of him, which is good news for the Eagles and bad news for the guys who have to block him. He’s still putting all the pieces together. If he stays healthy this season, he could have a breakout year. There is the possibility that the money will have a negative effect on him, but I think playing for Clint Hurtt and Vic Fangio will be enough to keep him on the right path. At his best, this is a guy you want in the middle of your defense.
Jalen Carter, Eagles agree to record-breaking contract extension – BGN Jalen Carter will neither be holding out nor holding in for a new contract this summer. With Philadelphia Eagles players reporting to the Jefferson Health Training Complex for training camp on Tuesday, the team officially announced they’ve reached a new deal with their two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle. Carter and the Eagles have reportedly agreed to a four-year, $152 million extension that could end up being worth $160 million, including $106 million guaranteed. This keeps the defensive tackle in Philly through 2031, right alongside Jordan Davis — who signed his own three-year, $78 million extension earlier this offseason.
With Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis signing long-term deals with the Eagles, who’s next? – PhillyVoice Likely gone next offseason: iDL Moro Ojomo. During training camp, Ojomo was by far the top “stock up” vote getter in our annual “stock up / stock down” training camp media poll. And sure enough, he had a breakout season, collecting 38 tackles, six sacks, and 12 QB hits while playing 66 percent of the team’s defensive snaps. The Eagles were hopeful that he could capably fill in for Milton Williams, who had departed in free agency last offseason, and Ojomo delivered. JimmyVerdict: The Eagles would undoubtedly love to keep Ojomo, but after signing Carter and Davis to massive long-term deals — and the aforementioned deals for Mitchell, DeJean, and Hunt on the horizon — it’s going to be hard for the Eagles to afford him. The very obvious play from Ojomo’s camp is to wait until free agency next offseason, and cash in, like Williams did. Enjoy Moro for one last season.
Eagles training camp preview: Reacting to Jalen Carter’s extension, previewing top position battles – PHLY Player I’ll be watching on Day 1, offense edition: Makai Lemon. Makai Lemon seems to be ready for camp after being sidelined with a hamstring injury during spring workouts, setting up a pivotal few weeks for the first-round rookie to acclimate to Mannion’s system and build a rapport with Jalen Hurts. He’s the type of player who should look good in training camp, so there’s reason for cautious optimism there. The Eagles need him to look good, too. Of the options at receiver around him, there isn’t one that projects as cleanly into the No. 2 role behind Smith as a featured member of the passing game and possibly the third-highest target getter behind Dallas Goedert. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni has been bullish on Dontayvion Wicks since the team traded for the 25-year-old, but projecting him into the No. 2 receiver spot is, well, a projection. Smith was second on the team with 113 targets last year and Goedert had the third-highest total at 82. Wicks’ most prolific season was two years ago, when he had 76 targets, 39 catches, and 415 receiving yards. Even more staggering, Wicks’ catch rate that year was just 51.3% compared to Smith’s 68.1% and Goedert’s 73.2%. Wicks caught 65.2% of his 46 targets last season, though, and the Eagles will be banking on that upward trend continuing. Hollywood Brown’s career history has more evidence of him being capable of handling heavy usage, although his numbers have been trending down some in recent years. He’s had triple-digit targets in four consecutive seasons between 2020-2023, but would probably be better suited as a horizontal/vertical stretch role player for this receiving corps rather than a true mainstay at the top of the depth chart. For that reason, it’ll likely come down mostly to whether Lemon can hit the ground running this summer.
