Simmons' $105M Extension Reframes Jalen Carter's Eagles Negotiations
Jeffery Simmons’ three-year, $105.8 million extension with $100 million guaranteed sets a new benchmark for defensive-tackle pay and provides a clearer framework for a potential Jalen Carter extension. The Eagles remain hesitant to lock in Carter with a multi-year deal just yet, content to wait and see how market values trend and Carter’s own development, much like they did with Jordan Davis. With training camp approaching and the 2026 season looming, a deal could still arrive, but nothing is imminent.
