Philly Eagles Ink Jordan Davis to Record $78M Extension

PHILADELPHIA (Day.News) — The Philadelphia Eagles extended star nose tackle Jordan Davis on Friday with a three-year, $78 million contract featuring $65 million guaranteed, sources confirmed, catapulting him to the top of NFL nose tackle pay. The extension rolls in Davis' $13 million fifth-year option, creating a four-year, $91 million pact through 2029 with an average annual value of about $22.75 million. Eagles beat reporters verified the terms ahead of official filing, highlighting the team's strategy of rewarding draft gems from Philly's passionate fanbase at the Linc. Davis, a 2022 first-round pick from Georgia, has anchored the Eagles' ferocious defensive front alongside locals like Jalen Carter. This massive deal arrives as the Eagles finalize their 2026 draft class, announcing Friday the signings of four rookies: Smael Mondon Jr., Kyle McCord, Myles Hinton, and Antwaun Powell-Ryland to four-year deals. Hinton, a sixth-round offensive tackle taken 191st overall, and Powell-Ryland, a sixth-round edge rusher picked 209th, join previously signed first-rounder Makai Lemon, fifth-rounder Cole Payton, seventh-rounders Cole Wisniewski and Keyshawn James-Newby, plus sixth-rounder Micah Morris and seventh-rounder Uar Bernard — six of eight picks now under contract.
