Jaelan Phillips Deal With Carolina Panthers Is Really a 3-Year $90M Pact

The former Eagles linebacker signed a four-year, $120 million deal with the Carolina Panthers, but the structure makes it effectively a three-year, $90 million contract. Phillips received $60 million guaranteed at signing, with another $20 million in 2028 salary set to fully guarantee next March. He will earn $36.24 million in 2026 cash, while the deal carries flexibility beyond Year 3.
