Jaguars acquire DT Jordan Davis as part of three-trade overhaul

The Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly signed defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles in a blockbuster trade just days before the NFL trade deadline. The deal, confirmed by multiple sources, sees the Jaguars receiving multiple draft picks from the Eagles, including a first-round pick for the following April.

This is the third defensive addition the Jaguars have made on Monday, following the acquisition of safety Jessie Bates from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints.

Davis, in his fifth NFL season, had a standout 2025 campaign where he recorded a career-high 72 total tackles and 4.5 sacks. He's currently sitting at 31 total tackles and 1.5 sacks this season in just nine games. The 26-year-old, originally selected by the Eagles in the 2022 draft, signed a three-year, $78 million extension with Philadelphia back in March.

Meanwhile, the Eagles are currently on a seven-game losing streak after their loss to the New York Giants on Sunday, sitting at the bottom of the NFC East with a 2-7 record. With quarterback Jalen Hurts sidelined due to blood clots, the Eagles are all but out of playoff contention for the season. The trade with the Jaguars, however, grants the Eagles an additional first-round pick in next year's draft and a second-round pick in 2029.

This gives the Eagles a total of 10 first and second round picks across the next three drafts, putting them in a strong position to rebuild after this season.
