The Philadelphia Eagles have had one of the most action-packed offseasons in the NFL, making headlines with splashy additions like edge rusher Jonathan Greenard and wide receivers Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon. But according to Sports Illustrated's Jeff Kerr, the team's most underrated move wasn't a new face—it was keeping a familiar one in the fold.
That move? Locking up defensive tackle Jordan Davis on a three-year, $78 million extension. Drafted 13th overall in 2022, Davis has quietly become a cornerstone of Philadelphia's defensive line. At just 26 years old, he's entering his prime, making the extension a savvy piece of business by general manager Howie Roseman.
Davis's 2025 season was nothing short of dominant. He ranked second among all defensive tackles in total tackles (72) and batted passes (6), showcasing his ability to disrupt plays both against the run and in coverage. He also made franchise history, becoming the first Eagles player ever to earn both NFC Defensive Player of the Week and NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors in the same season.
"Davis was also one of the elite defensive tackles in the game last season," Kerr wrote. "The Eagles signed Davis at the right time and solidified their future at defensive tackle. Signing Davis was the most underrated move in a busy offseason."
For Eagles fans, this extension represents more than just a contract—it's a commitment to the kind of gritty, physical play that wins championships. And for anyone looking to rep the Birds' rising star, a Jordan Davis jersey is the perfect way to show you know the real MVPs of the offseason.
