Davis and theEaglesagreed to a three-year, $78 million extension, according to multiple reports. The deal comes with $65 million guaranteed and makes Davis the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history.

While he wasn't slated to be a free agent in 2026, the extension ensures that the defender won't hit the open market next offseason. Davis will play the 2026 season on the fifth-year option, which is worth about $12.9 million, before the extension kicks in.

Drafted with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, Davis has been a mainstay on the Philadelphia defensive line, appearing in 64 regular season games and nine playoff contests through four seasons. The 26-year-old broke out for the Eagles defense in 2025, recording a career-high 4.5 sacks and 72 total tackles after an inconsistent first three seasons.

Davis' leap was on full display with afield goal block and return for a touchdownagainst theLos Angeles Ramsin Week 3 of the 2025 season.

Halle Berry reveals why she turned down interviews for a decade: 'I got tired of the same old story'

Halle Berryis speaking out about why she felt the need to go silent with the press for a decade.

Berry, 59, opened up about her decision in a recent interview withThe Cut, where the actress also discussed her filmCrime 101, menopause, and hercriticisms of California Governor Gavin Newsom.

"After my third divorce, people started to say, 'What's wrong with her? She's crazy. She can't keep a man,'" Berry shared in the interview.

Despite the actress' expansive career, which spans more than three decades and includes ahistoric Oscar winfor Best Actress (Berry is the only Black woman to win in that category), the actress expressed fatigue over constant tabloid coverage of her relationships, which led her to shut interviews down altogether.

"I pretty much stopped doing interviews for a decade because I got tired of the same old story," Berry said. "It was always: 'Poor Halle — Unlucky in Love Again.'"

When prompted to craft a headline to her liking, Berry first suggested "Halle Berry Is Not a Damsel in Distress," then "Halle Berry Is Not a Victim of Failed Relationships," and finally settled on "Halle Berry Never Said It's Anyone Else's Fault."

The actress is now more open to discussing both personal and professional highlights, as she recentlyannounced her engagement to boyfriend Van Hunton Feb. 5 while appearing onThe Tonight Show.

"There's some confusion," Berry told hostJimmy Fallon, referring to her recentThe Cutinterview in which she admitted Hunt had proposed, but she had not said yes yet.

"It's going around that I, that my guy Van Hunt — I've been dating him now for almost six years — well, there's some confusion that he asked to marry me and I said no. I did not say no."

In addition to Berry's gritty caperCrime 101,which she stars in alongsideChis Hemsworth, the actress has several projects in the pipeline, including an action-thrillerMaude v Maudethat features both Berry andAngelina Jolie.With an impressive resume already cemented, which includes her award-winning performance inMonster's Ball, her iconic role as Storm in theX-Menfranchise, as well as playing Bond girl Jinx inDie Another Day, the actress expressed gratitude for all that's occurred and what's to come.

"As a Black woman, now almost 60, I still get to work in movies and do what I love," Berry toldThe Cut. "I'm winning."
