It wasn’t a straightforward decision at the time, but it sure looks brilliant now.
General manager Howie Roseman and the Philadelphia Eagles made a notable short-term investment in defensive tackle Jordan Davis when they exercised the fifth-year option on his rookie contract back in April. That means Davis is under contract through the 2026 season, when he’ll be paid a fully-guaranteed $12.9 million, per Spotrac.
That number already looks like a major bargain. Davis entered Week 14 having notched career highs in total QB pressures, sacks, and tackles over the Eagles’ first 12 games of the season, according to Pro Football Focus.
