The Philadelphia Eagles are making strides as they exercised Jordan Davis's fifth-year option, solidifying his spot on the defensive depth chart. His performance has been notable, yet questions linger about his snap counts and overall impact since being drafted 14th overall. Experts suggest the Eagles' decision reflects their optimism about his growth in his fourth year, especially with the recent departures from their defensive lineup.

With the defensive tackle position being crucial, Davis is expected to play a more significant role, especially after the release of Milton Williams. The Eagles hope that with additional snaps, Davis can finally reach that $12.9 million player potential by 2026. The depth chart appears to favor him alongside emerging talents like Jaylen Carter and Moro Ojomo, who are expected to bolster the defensive line.

As the team prepares for rookie mini-camps, there are exciting developments regarding undrafted rookies and how they may impact the depth chart as well. The Eagles are banking on their young defensive players to step up and fill the voids left by veterans, creating a competitive environment that could fuel their ambitions in the upcoming season.
