The 25-year-old’s contract includes a guaranteed $106 million.
He recorded 13.5 sacks, 37 quarterback hits and 108 tackles through his first three seasons.
Carter was selected for the last two Pro Bowls.
The Philadelphia Eagles posted to its X account: “JC is here to stay! We have agreed to terms with Jalen Carter on a contract extension through 2031.”
Carter’s agents, Drew Rosenhaus and Jason Rosenhaus, confirmed the contract extension to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
