Jalen Carter extension: $152M makes him NFL's top-paid DT

The Philadelphia Eagles signed defensive tackle Jalen Carter to a four-year, $152 million extension worth up to $160 million, including $106 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history at $38 million per year. The deal runs through 2031. In standard formats he has no fantasy value, but in IDP leagues he is a top asset at the DT position, with a shoulder injury in 2025 being the one durability flag to monitor.
