That's because Carter has agreed to a four-year contract extension worth a reported $152 million with $106 million guaranteed that makes him the highest-paid defensive tackle in NFL history. The average vaults Carter past Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons ($35.2 million), and Kansas City Chiefs lineman Chris Jones ($31.75 million) as the league's only interior linemen exceeding $30 million per season. Carter is now under contract with Philadelphia through 2031. Carter is two-time Pro Bowler and the Eagles obviously believe his best days are ahead because that's exactly what $38 million per season should deliver. Especially in games played on the national stage.
