The Philadelphia Eagles have officially exercised the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Jordan Davis' rookie contract, ensuring his presence on the team for two more seasons. This decision comes after Davis showed notable improvements during the Eagles' playoff run, contributing a sack in both the NFC Championship game and Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs. With a scheduled salary of $12.9 million in 2026, the Eagles are banking on Davis’ continued development as a core piece of their defensive front.

General Manager Howie Roseman highlighted Davis' postseason performance, indicating optimism for his growth, particularly after his draft selection as the 13th overall pick in 2022. The Eagles are also adding depth to their defensive line by drafting Ty Robinson from Nebraska, aiming to bolster their interior rotation alongside star lineman Jalen Carter and emerging player Moro Ojomo. With the loss of Milton Williams to free agency, Davis will likely be expected to take on a more significant role moving forward.
