Overview

• The Philadelphia Eagles exercised the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Jordan Davis, guaranteeing him $12.9 million for the 2026 season.
• Davis, the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, was acquired after the Eagles traded up to secure him, reflecting their long-term investment in his development.
• General Manager Howie Roseman cited Davis’s postseason performance, including two playoff sacks, as evidence of his growth and potential impact.
• This decision ensures roster continuity for Philadelphia's defensive line at a cost-effective rate relative to market trends and franchise tag projections for the position.
• Under the 2020 NFL CBA, fifth-year options are fully guaranteed upon exercise, making this a calculated move to balance financial risk with player development.
