Contract Details: Eagles CB Michael Carter II Signs 1-Year Deal

[ASFN Admin]

Michael Carter II has signed his renegotiated contract that significantly lowers his $10 million salary cap hit. Had the Eagles released the veteran cornerback, the move would have saved $8,736,000 for 2026, instead, he'll remain in Philadelphia and play on a 1-year, $2.765 million deal, with a $500K signing bonus, a $1.75 million base salary, a salary cap hit of $1.42 million, $1.45 million fully guaranteed; with 2027-2030 voidable years.

Only Howie Roseman and Vic Fangio actually know how they view the former Jets cornerback, but the deal prevents Carter II from being considered a roster lock. Back in October, Philadelphia sent John Metchie and a 2027 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets for CB Michael Carter and a 2027 7th round pick.
