Eagles News: Jalen Carter says he’s not playing “to what the fans want, even though it don’t really matter what they want”

Philadelphia Eagles defensive lineman Jalen Carter addressed the media on Wednesday following his recent silence after a defeat to the Dallas Cowboys. When asked about his current performance, Carter characterized his play as trash, a self-assessment he has offered in previous seasons.

He further noted that his focus is not on meeting the expectations of the team's fanbase. Carter is currently navigating the season while dealing with a hairline fracture in his wrist.

This comes after the organization signed him to a four-year contract extension in July worth up to 160 million dollars, making him the highest-paid interior defensive lineman in the league.
