Eagles trade DT Jordan Davis to Jaguars

Published November 9, 2026 05:00 PM The Jaguars have gone all-in. And, as to 2026, the Eagles have checked out.Via Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Eagles have traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jaguars. In return, the Eagles will acquire a first-round pick in 2027 and a second-round pick in 2029.It’s the second trade the Jaguars have made today for a defensive starter. The day began with the Jaguars sending a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to the Falcons for safety Jessie Bates III.Unlike Bates, who is in the last year of his contract, Davis signed a new deal in March, a three-year, $78 million extension. The Eagles paid an $18.79 million signing bonus and half of Davis’s $1.215 million base salary.The move will trigger a $15.428 million cap charge for the Eagles in 2027. While the trade complicates further trades of significant veteran contracts, the willingness to deal Davis underscores the fact that most players are available for the right price, and that few are untouchable.As to Davis, the Eagles happily converted the player to a first-round pick in the next draft and a second-round pick two years after that.For the Jaguars, Monday’s trade will do little to keep them off the Super Bowl radar screen. Even without Bates and Davis, the Jaguars were a legitimate contender to make it to the Super Bowl. They will now become one of the favorites to win it all.The Eagles have lost seven in a row. Trading Davis won’t do much to spark a turnaround. Some believed they had embarked on a soft tank. The tank has now gotten a little more concrete.
