Howie Roseman 'Breaks the Bank' for Jalen Carter: The Scramble for a Historic Contract Has Begun!
Share this article:
Forget the dry NFL rules, the message from the Philadelphia Eagles' front office is crystal clear: Get ready for Jalen Carter's historic contract. Even though he can't put pen to paper yet, General Manager Howie Roseman is reportedly "eagerly" clearing the salary cap—preparing a mountain of cash to keep the superstar who is single-handedly carrying our defense.
While other teams wait, Roseman, armed with the "set the market" philosophy from owner Jeffrey Lurie, is acting first. Every financial move this summer has been a stepping stone, a steel-clad statement: The Eagles will not lose their crown jewel. They won't follow the market price; they will CREATE it.
And Jalen Carter is completely worthy of it. Coming right off his first Pro Bowl season, he has proven himself to be an unstoppable force—the future and the present of the defense. He is the reason opposing quarterbacks lose sleep at night.
So, what happens next? This 2025 season will be Carter's "audition." The current benchmark is Chris Jones's $31.75 million per year. But with every sack, every tackle for loss from Carter this year, that number is about to become history.
Eagles fans, rest assured. Howie Roseman and the team know Carter's value. The "scramble" has begun, and when the time comes, they will do whatever it takes to ensure the heart of the defense remains in Philadelphia for many, many years to come.
