Jordan Davis is "a little disappointed" to be traded by Eagles

For players with no-trade clauses and most starting-level quarterbacks, there's no reason to worry about a rogue wind blowing them to a new team in a new city.

Defensive tackle Jordan Davis expressed disappointment over his trade to the Jaguars, but remained understanding as the team undergoes a rebuilding process. He was pleased to receive first-round and second-round picks in return, which will aid the Jaguars' development. Davis also expressed gratitude for the support from his former teammates, the Eagles.

He stated that he is glad to contribute to the team during his departure. However, there might be some concern regarding an increase in his playing time. In Philadelphia, Davis was active for 52% of the snaps. The Jaguars traded away valuable assets for him, so they will need to justify the trade with more involvement from Davis.

Despite the NFL being made up of 32 independent teams, the possibility of involuntary transfers exists for most of them.
