The Philadelphia Eagles have secured defensive tackle Jordan Davis with a three-year, $78 million extension, sources confirmed to ESPN. The deal includes $65 million guaranteed, making Davis the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history. The contract keeps him in Philadelphia through 2028, building on his critical role in the Eagles' Super Bowl-winning 2024 season.

Davis, the No. 13 overall pick in 2022, was entering the final year of his rookie deal. Over four seasons with Philadelphia, he has started 56 regular-season games and anchored a dominant defensive line. His extension comes as the Eagles prioritize retaining core defensive talent, with fellow defensive tackles Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo also eligible for extensions this offseason.

The timing of Davis' deal reflects the Eagles' commitment to maintaining their defensive identity. His presence alongside Carter forms one of the NFL's most formidable interior defensive lines. With this extension, Philadelphia ensures continuity for a unit that proved instrumental in their championship run, while managing their salary cap for future roster moves.
