Eagles Pursued Myles Garrett, Refused to Trade Jalen Carter

The Browns reportedly wanted Carter in exchange for Garrett, but the Eagles declined and offered Nolan Smith or Jalyx Hunt instead. Cleveland ultimately traded Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams. cat-cross.com

Philadelphia's refusal to include Carter is notable given that they have yet to sign him to a second contract. Carter is due $3.723 million in the fourth year of his rookie deal, but his fifth-year option jumps to $27.1 million in 2027, which could complicate future contract negotiations.
