The NFL free agency period unofficially begins on Monday. Teams are trying to lock down their top talent before they hit the open market.
The Philadelphia Eagles, however, are also taking care of those under contract in 2026. They have decided to reward their former 2022 first-round pick.

The Eagles have reportedly signed defensive tackle Jordan Davis to a three-year, $78M extension. The contract extension keeps Davis in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future.

The Eagles previously picked up Davis’ fifth-year option last offseason–locking him into 2022. This now gives Davis a well-deserved pay bump and keeps him around.

However, Davis’ stellar ability to control the line of scrimmage has been a lethal duo alongside Jalen Carter. Davis is proving to be a vital part of an Eagles defense that dominated Super Bowl 59 a year ago.

The Eagles have been looking to add some more pass-rush help on the EDGE. For now, a vital part of their interior line is staying for a while.
