Jalen Carter net worth: How much has he earned and how much will he be paid?

Jalen Carter, defensive tackle who was selected with the 9th pick overall in the NFL Draft 2023, is already making a fortune with the Eagles. It was revealed during the first days of May that Philadelphia had already offered him a substantial multi-year contract despite being only a few days recruited. The agreement, his endorsements, and the small fortune he made during his days in college, makes his net worth rise up to around $7 million.

As reported by ESPN, Jalen Carter agreed to a four-year, fully-guaranteed deal worth $21,806,184. This means that from 2023 to 2026, Philadelphia Eagles' rookie will earn $5.45 million per year just for his contract.

His incomes increase with his endorsements and other investments. For example, Carter is already sponsored by NASCAR Quaker State 400, Sports Addiction and Bread Man Apparel, according to the site Sportskeeda.

Besides that, Jalen Carter also got an important amount of money on his college days for his NIL valuation. For his projection, performance and personality, his Name-Image-Likeness deal was presumed to be for $1.2 million.

That being explained, his net worth in college was around $1.5 million before the draft, and after he got recruited and signed the deal with the Eagles, his value, up to date, is $7 million, and will keep increasing at least $5.45 million a year plus endorsements and bonus.

An unfortunate incident almost set him back

On January, Jalen Carter was involved on a fatal car crash that took the lives of his University of Georgia teammate, Devin Willock, and a team staffer, Chandler Lecroy. Carter was accused of racing them on another vehicle. He plead not guilty, and then was sentenced to 12 months of probation.

Although he continues to mourn his friends, he was able to put that subject behind him, and fortunately, it didn't affect him on getting drafted to achieve the net worth he possesses by now.
