Where do we think Jalen Carter will fall in this list once he gets extended?

Probably below Myles Garrett. Interior d line isn’t that high lol.
He’ll be somewhere between $35-$38 if I had to guess
The highest paid DT in nfl history makes like 31-33m$
I’d guess he gets 35
Hes not playing well enough right now.
The only one with a ring spot?
He isn’t playing well right now so probably not as high as we thought.
Different position
Depends how he finishes the season but anywhere from 33-40 AAV
I got shit on in the offseason for saying he wouldn’t get $40 million but with how these contracts are being handed out, we’ll see. He’ll definitely reset the DT market. I think it’ll be close but unless he turns it on, he probably won’t top Garrett.
These are edge rushers. No where in this list will he land. He also isn’t as good (at least right now) as he was before this season. Likely 32-34m APY
1 sack on the year thus far, imo he needs to step it up if he wants top dollar. Dude has insane levels of potential and imo is not meeting that potential
His shape, temperament and production this year have undermined his value. I’d say about 4 year $110 mil
We also have to take care of Jordan Davis. Not sure how all of that works out with Nolan smith jr due the same year
I think that extra shit he does needs to get us some sort of discount. Missed a whole game cuz of a bone headed move.
Different positions
With his agent he’s gong to want record setting money. He’ll get it, but it will be by combining his next 2 years and with favorable bonus terms.
Depends on how well he controls his urge to hawk tuah.
I think he has to ball out the rest of this year and then he’ll come in around $35-38mill, but if he remains up and down, we’ll just pick up his fifth year and ask him to show us an improvement in application and maturity in ’26 (like Davis this year) for the big dollars.
Not on the list.
He doesn’t have the sack numbers which are what drive these huge defense numbers. He’ll probably get 30 though
He will ball out second half of the season now his injuries are healing and earn that highest paid d lineman salary. You KNOW his agent Drew Rosenhaus will be working Howie. The Thursday night game against the Giants JC didn’t play, his agent was on the field with Howie making the decision to sit him that game.
I am hopeful he goes for less than $30m after this year. I think he is definitely top 3 at his position but I see a team friendly deal coming
Well he’s not an EDGE like most of these guys soooo. Probably less?
Share the defensive tackle list. These are Edge rusher salaries.
I would figure doing something like spitting on Dak and taking yourself out of the first game of the season will be a big detriment to him when negotiating.
Below all of them
Nowhere near this much.
Im hopping near the bottom or not even 40 m per year
28M
Idk but he’s gonna cost a pretty penny. How much was fletch making before he retired? Might be a pretty good idea for how much he’ll get extended
Below all these guys, I’ll lose my mind if we pay him 40+… hes an interior guy so im thinking more like ~35m a season. Well see how the rest of his season goes, as of now he hasn’t been playing his best which may work in our favor lol. The only way I see him getting more than 35m/season is if he goes absolutely nuclear the rest of the year and we win it all again.
I hope for $31 mil, my guess is probably $35 mil
All those guys get results, he’s got what 1 sack plus multiple personal fouls and an ejection. Yeah he’s falling below all of them at this point.
Tied 8th, maybe 10th He’s not making more than a receiver or edge
He had a great game vs the giants but otherwise has been pretty mediocre this year. Def not worthy of a market resetting contract at this level of play, plus stupid ass unsportsmanlike penalties and that ejection
Spitting distance
Among DT’s he’s 34th in tackles, but 6th in pressures (1 hurry+1 sack+8 QB knockdowns). I believe 64% double team rate. Do with this info what you will
If he gets DPOY this year then MAYBE 40M. I doubt it’d be much more than 35.
Depends on how he finishes the season. I think the incident with Dak, shoulder injury and reports of him being out of shape definitely cost him. But he’s got half a season to erase all that. I thinking 33 to 35 a year.
I’m a little surprised Hutch got less than Parsons. Not because he’s a better player or anything, just because he’s later in time.
