- Instant analysis of Eagles signing Jordan Davis to 3-year, $78M extension
In a move that stabilizes the Eagles ' defensive front, Philadelphia has agreed to a three-year, $78 million extension with Jordan Davis , including $75 million guaranteed. Davis will play the 2026 season on his $12,938,000 fifth year option, giving the Eagles even more flexibility for the next year.
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 continued to improve
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.
2025 breakout
After a spring and summer on the Peloton, Davis led all NFL interior DL in run stops (34) and ranked 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?
