Contract extensions for Jalen Hurts and Jalen Carter aren't upcoming

· Yahoo Sports

The Philadelphia Eagles have already taken care of one major piece of business this offseason. They did so by inking Jordan Davis to a massive three-year, $78 million extension. What a massive coup it would have been to also keep Jaelan Phillips in the fold, but it wasn't meant to be. He left in free agency to join the Carolina Panthers.

Money has flowed freely this offseason. Still, two of Philadelphia's biggest stars remain in contractual limbo for now. There is growing curiosity around potential extensions for both Jalen Hurts and Jalen Carter, but there has been little to no movement on either front.

According to Adam Schefter, the current silence isn’t a sign of trouble. It’s simply part of the process. Recently, as he often does, he guested on 97.5 The Fanatic's Kincade and Salciunas show, and he confirmed what most were probably thinking. So far, nothing is imminent in terms of an extension.

Most expect that Carter's fifth-year option will be exercised. We'll see what happens with both eventually. Here, Schefter suggests a timeline closer to training camp, which counters any theories of something major happening in the near future. There's seemingly less of a buzz for Hurts. At least that's how things appear publicly. That isn't necessarily surprising given his current contract structure. He is signed through 2028, making him eligible for free agency in 2029.

For Carter, the delay could be strategic. The market for elite defensive linemen is still evolving, and Philadelphia may be waiting to see how other huge deals reshape the financial landscape. Locking in a number early could help the team with costs. That idea worked with DeVonta Smith. Carter's price tag will only rise the longer the Eagles wait.

With another year remaining on his rookie deal, one that comes with a $6.9 million price tag, plus a likely fifth-year option, the Eagles have flexibility. He is represented by Rosenhaus Sports, one of the longest-tenured and best firms in the business. He, like most other agents, will look to get his player signed to the highest possible dollar amount.

Hurts presents a different scenario. Already under contract for multiple seasons, the franchise quarterback isn't pressing for urgency from a team perspective. His deal, once considered massive, now looks team-friendly compared to other top quarterbacks around the league. Most of whom have never won Super Bowl MVP. Ultimately, the lack of immediate action reflects patience rather than concern. The Eagles have built a reputation for timing their moves wisely, and this appears to be another case of calculated restraint rather than hesitation.

If history is any indication, that patience will eventually pay off in a big way. When the Eagles do make their move, expect it to be decisive, well-timed, and reflective of a franchise that understands exactly when, and how, to take care of its stars.
