Pro Football Rumors
The Eagles will keep their all-Georgia defensive tackle duo together beyond 2025. They will pick up Jordan Davis‘ fifth-year option, according to Fox Sports’ Jordan Schultz, ensuring he and Jalen Carter will remain under contract through 2026.
Davis has proven to be an important piece for the Eagles, though his playing time will make this an affordable option to exercise. Because the nose tackle has yet to play 50% of the Eagles’ defensive snaps in a season, he will be eligible for the lowest of the four option prices at the position. Philadelphia will have Davis on a fully guaranteed $12.94MM in 2026.
Teams have until 3pm CT Thursday to decline on fifth-year options tied to the 2022 first-round class. Davis represented the first member of the Georgia products to arrive on Philly’s defense, coming in as the No. 16 overall pick in 2022. Nakobe Dean followed in that year’s third round, while Carter, Nolan Smith and Kelee Ringo were 2023 draftees.
With Milton Williams departing for a monster Patriots payday in free agency, the Eagles will lean into their Georgia connection inside. Davis, however, has been a regular starter in Philly. He has started every Eagles game over the past two seasons, not missing any time since a short IR stint during his rookie season.
More to come.
