Jalen Carter has quickly established himself as a cornerstone player for the Philadelphia Eagles, demonstrating his impact with 10.5 sacks over his first two seasons. The former Georgia standout has been recognized by Pro Football Focus as an elite performer, which has led to discussions regarding a lucrative extension as he becomes eligible next offseason.

The Eagles are strategically managing their cap space, particularly after letting go of key players like Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Darius Slay, to ensure they can offer Carter a competitive deal. The organization aims to finalize an extension early, reflecting their proactive approach to securing talent for the future.
