Eagles Make Jordan Davis NFL’s Highest-Paid Nose Tackle With Reported 3-Year, $78 Million Extension

Following a breakout 2025, the move signals Philadelphia’s push to secure homegrown defensive talent next.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report a three-year extension worth about $78 million with roughly $65 million guaranteed, a figure that sets a new benchmark at nose tackle.
  • Some reports listed slightly different totals, including $76 million, indicating minor discrepancies in the early accounting of the deal.
  • Davis is expected to play 2026 on his fifth-year option of about $12.9 million before the new money begins, keeping him under contract through 2029.
  • The 26-year-old delivered career highs in 2025 — including 72 tackles, 4.5 sacks and a blocked-field-goal touchdown — after a larger snap share and improved conditioning.
  • At an estimated $26 million per year, the deal places Davis among the top-paid interior linemen, and attention now turns to potential extensions for teammates such as Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo as free agency approaches.
