49ers OL hits back at Jalen Carter over trash talk allegations
The NFL season is officially over. But some beef still appears to be carrying over to the offseason.
On Tuesday, San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter took their personal feud public.
Feliciano made headlines recently after he appeared to blame 49ers teammate Spencer Bufford for a costly mistake during San Francisco’s Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Feliciano said that the 2nd-year player missed a crucial block that would have given quarterback Brock Purdy enough time for a touchdown in overtime. Instead, it was Patrick Mahomes and Mecole Hardman who connected for the title-clinching TD in OT.
Feliciano later apologized to Burford. But the 49ers veteran immediately faced new drama once Carter caught wind of the issue.
Carter posted on Instagram a screenshot of the Feliciano-Burford exchange that had taken place on X. In the post, the Eagles rookie accused Feliciano of using trash talk that went over the line when the Eagles and 49ers faced off during the regular season.
“Same dude who spoke on my dead teammate and the reason I was emotional during our game mmh [sic],” captioned Carter in an Instagram story post.
