Eagles' Jalen Carter Responds to Death Threat Accusations: 'I Can't Beat That!'

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter took to his private X account on Wednesday to respond to serious accusations made against him Tuesday by San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Jonathan Feliciano.

Feliciano alleges that Carter made threats toward him and his family during Week 13's matchup in Philadelphia. Feliciano admitted to using Carter's involvement in the fatal Jan. 2023 car crash of a Georgia teammate when trash-talking him, but said he only mentioned it after Carter made the initial threats.

Being accused of making death threats didn't sit well with Carter, whose tweets surfaced on social media through screenshots.

"It's cause he already see y'all calling me a murder(er) so he just gone keep that going he know y'all goin to love it," Carter tweeted. "I can't beat that if you got the fans on your side than you're right I guess."

Carter also wrote that he's trying to "be the best ever" while implying players like Feliciano are "just trying not to get traded."

While Carter's tweets dispute Feliciano's allegations toward him, a prior screenshot floating around social media shows that Carter posted a picture of Feliciano with his kids on his private Instagram story.

Carter slipped in the first round because of character questions. And now, despite the aforementioned brilliant football skills and increased maturity, Carter - who would be wise to take the issue of death very seriously - has made it clear he's still got a lot of growing up to do.
