Philadelphia Eagles har besluttet at udnytte femteårsmulighederne i kontrakterne for Jalen Carter og Nolan Smith, ifølge flere kilder. Dette sikrer begge spillere kontrakter på henholdsvis omkring 27 millioner dollars for Carter og 13,7 millioner dollars for Smith i 2027.
Carter, 25 år gammel, blev valgt som nummer ni i draften i 2023. Han har allerede markeret sig som en nøglespiller i forsvaret og har været udvalgt til Pro Bowl de seneste to sæsoner. I sin karriere indtil videre har han noteret sig for 108 tackles, 13,5 sacks, 37 quarterback hits, 13 passerforsvar og fire tvungne fumble.
Smith, ligeledes 25 år, blev draftet som nummer 30 i 2023. Han har præsteret solidt med 91 tackles, 10,5 sacks, 25 quarterback hits, to passerforsvar og to tvungne fumble i sin tid i ligaen.
Beslutningen om at aktivere femteårsmulighederne understreger Eagles' tillid til begge spillere og deres betydning for holdets fremtidige succes. Med disse kontrakter sikrer klubben fortsat adgang til to centrale profiler i forsvaret i de kommende år.
