We learned that it was a $152 million deal, and now we know some more about how Howie Roseman structured things \u2014 and, you guessed it, utilized void years to cushion the cap.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">According to Spotrac\u2019s breakdown, Carter received $40.8 million guaranteed at signing. He also has five option bonuses, and the team added four void years to the deal. As usual, Roseman kept the salary cap in mind \u2014 and knowing he\u2019s got some expensive cornerbacks to pay next year \u2014 kept the cap hits relatively low for the next few years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/jalen-carters-deal-has-a-250-000-annual-weight-bonus\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ProFootball Talk also reported <\/a>that the team included $250,000 in bonuses related to a weight check every year. In the report, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/nfl\/profootballtalk\/rumor-mill\/news\/jalen-carters-deal-has-a-250-000-annual-weight-bonus\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PFT\u2019s Mike Florio suggested<\/a> that a \u201cweight bonus\u201d is not typically included in veteran contracts, but throughout the offseason, the coaches mentioned publicly their want for Carter to get in better shape, so it\u2019s not entirely surprising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1upudxki _174s0un1 _174s0un0 _1mt21p01\">All told, the deal looks like yet another win-win for the Eagles organization and for one of the league\u2019s top defensive tackles who deserved a second contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Eagles signed Jalen Carter to a four-year extension just as training camp began.
