Eagles make Jordan Davis' three-year $78M contract extension official
The Eagles officially announced Jordan Davis’ three-year, $78 million extension, securing the standout defensive tackle before the NFL’s new league year begins. The historic deal, including $65 million guaranteed, secured a key cornerstone for their defensive unit. Davis will play the 2026 season on his $12,938,000 fifth year option, giving the Eagles even more flexibility for the next year.
The new contract makes Davis one of the NFL’s highest-paid defensive tackles by average annual value, matching former teammate Milton Williams in New England. Davis is now the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history.

Last spring, Davis was one of three players on Philadelphia’s roster that Howie Roseman had to decide whether to exercise their fifth-year option or allow them to test free agency. Davis has been a solid run-stopper, but prior to last season, he’d never played 600 snaps in a season. In 2024, he logged 27 tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sack and two passes defended, while playing in all 17 regular-season games. His production increased during the postseason, with six tackles (four solo), including two sacks and one pass defense, across four playoff appearances.
After a spring and summer on the Peloton, Davis had a breakout 2025 season, leading all NFL interior defensive linemen in run stops (34) and ranking 3rd among DTs in tackles (career-high 72), trailing only Cameron Heyward (78) and Derrick Brown (73). Davis and Jalen Carter also tied for the 2nd-most batted passes (6) among interior DL, behind Brown (7). Davis had his fifth-year option picked up, but will Roseman extend Davis long-term?
