Eagles are hesitant to pay Carter, per Breer

[TheMarathonContinues]

Davis is a three down player where Carter is a two down player. That's probably why they up the money for Davis.

You sure you don’t have that reversed?

As much as I value the DT position, and as talented as Carter is, gotta say no. Way too much possibility of issues.

Pay him then if there is a problem move on. They showed they can get something for guys like Sam Bradford and Carson Wentz and even AJ Brown now. People are always starved for good DT play. I sign him.

In 2025 after Davis lost a lot of weight, he ended up playing 65% of all defensive snaps (in large part due to Carter’s injury). For comparison, Quinnen Williams has ranged between 57-69% his entire career.

In his last healthy season of 2024, Carter played 84%(!) of all defensive snaps, which led all DT’s. In 2025 despite playing injured and then missing time due to surgery, he still hit 84% again in games he appeared in.

Both are now 3 down players, but Carter is a rare 3 down, all game iDL now in year 4. Aaron Donald never played 84% of defensive snaps in his first four years despite 3 1st team all-pros and a DPOY. Neither Fletcher Cox nor Chris Jones ever played 84% of defensive snaps their entire careers.

I read a couple of nuggets that they are a bit concerned about Carter's leadership and maturity once he gets paid.

Weird when people just make tish up.

It’s all negotiating tactics. He’s probably asking for 40, we want to pay 30, and we’ll settle around 36 sometime in August
