Jalen Carter is officially the richest defensive tackle in NFL history. The Eagles have signed the two-time Pro Bowl lineman to a four-year extension worth one hundred fifty-two million dollars, with incentives pushing that number to one hundred sixty million. Philadelphia is making a statement that their defensive core is built to last.
Speaking of building for the future, the Los Angeles Rams enter training camp as the early Super Bowl sixty-one favorites, and it's not hard to see why. The acquisition of Myles Garrett — a two-time Defensive Player of the Year — from Cleveland in exchange for Jared Verse, a first-round pick, and additional compensation has reshuffled the entire NFC power structure. The Rams look dangerous.
Meanwhile in Pittsburgh, the injury news is piling up before the pads even go on. Cornerback Joey Porter Junior has been added to the physically unable to perform list after aggravating his back during a mobility workout Tuesday morning. He joins Jalen Ramsey and Donte Kent on that list, leaving the Steelers secondary looking thin before a single snap of camp football.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
