ANAHEIM, Calif. – Carson Wentz heard about Alshon Jeffery’s contract extension on Saturday morning and made a beeline to his top wide receiver to congratulate him. Teammates offered some good-natured ribbing about Jeffery’s four-year, $52-million contract, but Wentz made sure Jeffery knew how happy he was.
The contract doesn’t just enrich Jeffery; it ensures that Wentz’s development will include stability at wide receiver.
“We’re both pretty stoked about what the future holds,” Wentz said. “At the same time, we’re really focused on this year, too. But I’m really thrilled that he’s going to be here for a couple of years.
