Eagles Refused to Include Jalen Carter in Myles Garrett Trade

Before trading defensive end Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams, the Cleveland Browns had discussions with the Philadelphia Eagles. Reports indicate that the Browns specifically requested defensive tackle Jalen Carter in the potential deal, but the Eagles declined to include him. Philadelphia reportedly offered Nolan Smith or Jalyx Hunt instead. trojkonferencja2024.pl

The Eagles' refusal to trade Carter is notable given that they have not yet signed him to a second contract. Carter is due to make $3.723 million in the fourth year of his rookie deal in 2026, with a fifth-year option salary of $27.1 million in 2027. By keeping him off the trade block, Philadelphia may have inadvertently strengthened Carter's leverage for a new, market-level extension.
