The Eagles signed rookie defensive tackle Jalen Carter to his rookie contract on Tuesday, with a league source confirming to The Inquirer a four-year deal worth $21.8 million in guaranteed salary.

Carter, whom the Eagles traded up one spot to select with their top draft pick at No. 9, was the first first-round pick to agree to his rookie deal. Similar to every first-round selection, Carter’s contract comes with a team option for a fifth season.

The former University of Georgia standout joined Stanford quarterback Tanner McKee and Texas defensive tackle Moro Ojomo as Eagles draft picks to sign. Georgia linebacker Nolan Smith, Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Steen, Illinois safety Sydney Brown, and Georgia cornerback Kelee Ringo also are in the draft class.

Carter is expected to be in attendance Friday when the Eagles begin rookie minicamp at the NovaCare Complex.

“Philly is putting their trust in me to come in here,” Carter said last week. “And put in hard work and do what I can to help the team.”
