Jordan Davis receives record-breaking extension from Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are making Jordan Davis a very rich man.

Davis and the Eagles agreed to a three-year, $78 million extension, according to multiple reports. The deal comes with $65 million guaranteed and makes Davis the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history.

While he wasn’t slated to be a free agent in 2026, the extension ensures that the defender won’t hit the open market next offseason. Davis will play the 2026 season on the fifth-year option, which is worth about $12.9 million, before the extension kicks in.

Drafted with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Davis has been a mainstay on the Philadelphia defensive line, appearing in 64 regular season games and nine playoff contests through four seasons. The 26-year-old broke out for the Eagles defense in 2025, recording a career-high 4.5 sacks and 72 total tackles after an inconsistent first three seasons.

Davis’ leap was on full display with a field goal block and return for a touchdown against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3 of the 2025 season.

The Eagles will hope for a lot more of that in the future. Here’s what to know about Davis’ big deal with the Eagles:
