Eagles Lock in Jordan Davis with $78M Extension

0:00For the NFL, it's March 7th, and here's what's going on. The Philadelphia Eagles are getting ahead of NFL free agency by extending defensive tackle, Jordan Davis. They signed the 2022 first rounder to a three-year deal worth $78 million. This keeps him locked in with the team well beyond his current contract. Teams across the league start negotiating with their own stars on Monday, but Philly move fast. Davis, pick 13th overall out of Georgia, already had his fifth-year option exercise last year. Now he gets a big pay raise to stay put. Davis shines by dominating the line of scrimmage, even if his stats do not always pop. He forms a powerhouse duo inside with Jalen Carter. That combo helped fuel one of the league's top defenses last season. Eagles fans love seeing homegrown talent rewarded like this. It stabilizes the interior line amid a push for more edge rushers. No flashy numbers, but his impact shows up in big games. With free agency heating up, Philadelphia avoid losing a key piece.
