The Philadelphia Eagles are exercising the fifth-year option for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
Davis, the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, will earn a guaranteed $12.9 million in 2026.
Davis, 25, has started every game over the past two seasons for Philadelphia, including the Super Bowl LIX win against the Kansas City Chiefs in February.
He has recorded 3.5 sacks, 90 tackles, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 47 career regular-season games (39 starts). He added one sack each in the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders and in the Super Bowl.
NFL teams have until Thursday to pick up the fifth-year options for 2022 first-round draft selections.
