# How much did Jalen Carter's new contract with the Eagles pay him?

Here are the details on Jalen Carter's new contract with the Eagles:

**4 years, $152 million** — with **$106 million guaranteed** and escalators that could push the total value to **$160 million**. The deal makes Carter the **highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history** and keeps him in Philadelphia through the 2031 season (from the [Jalen Carter page](https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39357110/eagles-jalen-carter-extension)).

That works out to **$38 million per year** — a massive number that, combined with Jordan Davis's $26M/year deal, gives the Eagles $230 million invested in their interior D-line through 2031.

On FantasyPros, one analyst noted the contract itself is a signal: *"I like the buzz of money. I like to hear and see who's getting paid because typically you're paying guys that you expect to be big parts of your team's plan"* — [hear the clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZRsEZOo1xM&t=1831s).
