PHI Extend Jalen Carter, Making Him Highest Paid Defensive Tackle

Four years, $152 million extension. The problem with this, Tom, is that they just made them the highest paid defensive tackle in NFL history. So that is going to, there are a lot of teams right now with some big boys on the line that are looking at this contract and going, oh, really? And like you said, this is the kind of contract and kind of deal you're committed to them, Eagles. Congratulations, but it feels like there's a lot of things that could go wrong with making a D tackle, the highest paid ever in the history of the game. That's going to eat up a lot of resources there for the Eagles in years to come. It certainly is. And I'm still going to say that they have a great offensive line, but you know what they do outside of the offensive line and surrounding hurts with weapons and shoring up other aspects of their defense, namely a second and a second starting corner that they truly in, which is one of their issues from last season. Those are going to be the things that are going to be impacted down the road. Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, Landon Dickinson, Cam Juergens, I go down to lift. They're going to be a lot of dudes that they're going to have to make some decisions on over the next couple of seasons, but he is your man. And congratulations as he is going to solidify that defensive front for a while in the NFL. And you know, I don't know why Kyle Shanahan continues to talk about this accident and he he's continuing to clarify details on a Tom. Like if I'm Shanahan, I don't want to talk about this, like it all moving forward. Like I'm good. I'm going to be here. I don't know. Now he's rectifying the stories that maybe he was at fault. I like, what are we doing here with? There is so much more, I think, to all of these stories that we're not getting. Yeah. When you are offering up information on warranting and clarify things that no one's asking about verification, that always, that always like, like peaks my ears, like, why are you doing that now? Well, I understand there was some lag time in terms of when the accident happened in the middle of July and, you know, when we're actually hearing about it, maybe he just wants to set the record straight, but I, if something feels a little bit off to me about it, whether or not that's actually true, who knows whether or not this actually impacts the 49ers, I think is the main thing. Does this impact their team performance? Because the 49ers are generally a pretty public team when it comes to betting the NFL as they have, you know, a historic amount of success with Shanahan making the playoffs, making a debut in the playoffs in the Superbowl. So people are generally looking to bet on the 49ers. And if there's any resistance in the market and pushback saying if Shanahan's not going to be fully healthy, we're at the helm for the 49ers, does that impact our outlook on them to win the division, make the playoffs, their win total, et cetera, et cetera. That's what I'm truly interested in. The shenanigans of Shanahan clarifying the story, we've got to wait for that to kind of pass, I think.
