"Even though I’m no longer playing on the field, I feel I still have a lot to offer to the team," Kelce shared about his decision to return.

Not only was he a talented player, but he also served as a powerful source of inspiration in the Eagles' locker room for many years.

Kelce mentioned that he wants to help develop the younger players on the Eagles, passing on the knowledge and skills he gained throughout his career.

With a developing roster, Kelce’s return is a smart move to maintain the team’s strength.

Last Update: Eagles Sign Jalen Carter to Extension with a Deal Benefiting Both Sides, Making the Rookie a Cornerstone for the Future
Philadelphia, PA – A special update just confirmed by Adam Schefter: Philadelphia Eagles have officially signed Jalen Carter to a contract extension. Carter, defensive tackle for the Eagles, quickly became one of the most important players on the team after an impressive rookie season.   Carter, drafted at No. 9 in the 2023 NFL Draft, showed excellence in run stuffing and applying pressure on quarterbacks. In the 2025 season, Carter recorded 33 tackles, 3 sacks, and 7 pass deflections in 12 games. His stats solidified his role. With 108 tackles, 13.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and 13 pass deflections across 44 games, Carter has proven his value. Eagles clearly want to keep Carter long-term, viewing him as an integral part of the future of the defense. The contract extension ensures Philadelphia maintains stability on defense and continues building strength with young, emerging players. Although the contract details have not been disclosed, the extension is considered fair and beneficial for both sides. Eagles didn’t want to let Carter go, losing one of the NFL’s top defensive tackles while he’s still under contract. However, Carter will play under his current contract through the 2026 season, with a fifth-year option for 2027. With Carter having a few years left to play, the team can focus on developing other young talents in the roster. The Eagles have not yet discussed an extension with Jalen Hurts, prioritizing other matters before addressing that issue. This extension marks an important step in the Eagles’ long-term strategy for their defense. Carter will now have the opportunity to continue developing his skills and leadership in the Eagles' locker room. With Carter’s presence, the Eagles will maintain defensive strength, preparing for the challenges ahead in the upcoming seasons. This move will undoubtedly boost confidence among the players when facing tough competition in the NFL. The Eagles already have a strong defense, and signing Carter will help maintain and grow that force for the future. With smart decisions like this, the Eagles are getting closer to their goal of winning the Super Bowl in the coming years. Carter has proven to be an indispensable talent for the team and will continue to play a key role in the Eagles’ defense.
