The Jacksonville Jaguars have traded for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis, sending a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles a day before the NFL trade deadline.
The Jaguars announced on Monday (US time) they had agreed to terms to acquire Davis for draft pick compensation, pending a physical. ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported the picks involved, NFL.com reported.
It was Jacksonville’s third trade for a defensive player on Monday, after the Jaguars landed safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints, ESPN reported.
“Jordan’s impact on the field can be felt on every down,” Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said. “This is a well-rounded premier player and person. We’re excited to add him to the team.”

The Eagles (2-7) have lost seven straight games. ESPN reported the trade leaves Philadelphia poised to have 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts, while The Philadelphia Inquirer reported the club now holds two first-round picks in both 2027 and 2028.
“We are extremely grateful to Jordan for his contributions to our team on the field and in the Philadelphia community since we drafted him five years ago,” the Eagles said in a statement, AP reported. “He has been a key contributor to our team culture and on-field success, which included two Super Bowl appearances and a [Super Bowl victory] in 2024.”
Davis, 26, signed a three-year, US$78 million extension with US$64.4 million guaranteed earlier this year and is under contract through the 2029 season, according to ESPN.
Why the Jaguars made the move
The Jaguars (6-2) hold a three-game lead in the AFC South and play the Tennessee Titans (1-7) on Sunday (US time).
Davis was the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft and won a Super Bowl with Philadelphia, recording a sack in the Super Bowl LIX win, the Jaguars said. He had a career-best 2025 season with 4.5 sacks and 72 tackles, but has 1.5 sacks and 31 tackles through nine games this season, ESPN reported.
