Jordan DavisJordan Davis made his money. Now, what’s next for one of the highest-paid defensive tackles in the NFL? The Eagles are hoping he plays as well as he did in 2025.Davis is coming off his best-ever season. He ranked first in run stops (34), third in tackles (72) and tied for second in batted passes (six) among all NFL interior defensive linemen. The 2022 first-round pick even blocked a couple of kicks and returned one for a touchdown.It was a career year for Davis, who flashed potential in his first three seasons with the Eagles but could never consistently stay on the field.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementDavis’ work last offseason, transforming his body and losing 26 pounds, paid dividends. He played a career-high 715 snaps and grew into a leadership role.All of that led the Eagles to reward Davis. In March, the Georgia star signed a three-year contract worth $78 million, including $65 million guaranteed.The Eagles are listed at +115 to win over 10.5 regular season games on DraftKings.

Davis is now under contract with the Eagles through the 2029 season, making him a long-term pillar of the defense.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut in the short-term, the Eagles need Davis to make good on that contract right away.Davis has a chance to build on the confidence he earned last season and continue to be a game-wrecker playing alongside Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo at defensive tackle.The Eagles’ edge rusher group was revamped this offseason. Jonathan Greenard, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa were added to join Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith. But the defensive line (and in a lot of ways, the defense as a whole) will go as far as the d-tackles take it.And Davis is integral to that potential success — now and in the future.Can this Eagles All-Pro lead offensive transformation in 2026?
