Eagles Give Jalen Carter $250k Weight Bonus in Record Deal

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed defensive tackle Jalen Carter to a record‑setting contract that includes a $250,000 annual weight bonus, according to GM Howie Roseman. No off‑field concerns were cited, and the team negotiated the incentive to keep the player under a specified weight limit, though the exact threshold and timing remain undisclosed. cat-cross.com

Carter officially weighs 314 pounds at the 2023 Scouting Combine and was 323 pounds at his Pro Day. The weight bonus is an unusual clause, but the Eagles view it as a performance incentive rather than a punitive measure.
