Eagles trade Jordan Davis to Jaguars for two future picks

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The deal returns a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to Philadelphia, according to a team announcement issued Monday.

The transaction sends a three-time NFC East champion to a divisional rival. Davis, 26, was drafted 13th overall by Philadelphia out of the University of Georgia in 2022. He served as a team captain for the 2026 season after being voted into the role by his teammates.

Davis spent five years in the Eagles organization. He helped the team win two NFC Championships and Super Bowl LIX. His statistical peak arrived in 2025, when he recorded 72 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 22 quarterback pressures. That season made him the first player in franchise history to earn both NFC Defensive and Special Teams Player of the Week honors.

The trade reflects a shift in the Eagles' strategy as they sit with a 2-7 record. Philadelphia has lost its last seven games, marking its longest losing streak since 2012. The team is viewed as a seller ahead of the NFL trade deadline.

In the most recent loss, the Eagles fell 19-11 to the New York Giants. Rookie quarterback Joe Milton III made his first career start with Jalen Hurts sidelined. Milton threw for 169 yards, was sacked seven times, and lost a fumble. The Eagles now enter their Week 10 bye before hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.

The Jaguars have been aggressive in the market. They acquired Davis alongside safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux on Monday. The Eagles stated they are grateful for Davis's contributions to the team culture and on-field success.

The team noted that Davis evolved from an All-Rookie selection into a cornerstone run defender. The statement wished him continued success as he moves to Jacksonville.
