Yeah, for sure. I'd be terrified of paying that dude. I'm sure that's playing a big role in the Eagles openly trying to trade him. This is the second offseason in a row that he's available.
Don't get me wrong. Carter is very good, but you'd expect him to be like the top IDL the way he gets talked about. Personally, if I could pick from all of the young IDL across the league, I'd take Kobie Turner all day over Jalen Carter. Turner is so damn quick with top notch technique and a versatile rush plan.
Something to consider about Carter is that he's playing in that Fangio defense where he's account for a gap and a half. ie Not a fully attacking front. Maybe he would go to another level in a front where he can pin his ears back on every snap and go.
