Defensive tackle Jordan Davis has started every game for the Eagles for the last two seasons and he’s set to remain a foundational piece of their defense for two more years.
Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports that the Eagles will exercise their fifth-year option on Davis’s contract. Davis is now guaranteed a salary of $12.938 million for the 2026 season.
