Eagles send Jordan Davis to Jaguars for 2027 first-round pick
Philadelphia acquires a 2029 second-round selection as the 2-7 team makes moves before its Week 10 bye.

The Philadelphia Eagles traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday. In return, Philadelphia will receive a first-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft and a second-round pick in the 2029 NFL Draft.
Davis, 26, spent five seasons with the Eagles after being selected 13th overall in the 2022 draft out of the University of Georgia. During his tenure, he earned All-Rookie honors and was voted a team captain for the 2026 season. He contributed to three NFC East titles, two NFC Championships, and the team’s victory in Super Bowl LIX.
His 2025 season marked a statistical peak, with 72 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 22 quarterback pressures. Davis became the first player in franchise history to win both NFC Defensive Player of the Week and Special Teams Player of the Week awards in the same year. The team cited his role in the locker room and on the field in a statement released Monday.
“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. They noted that his growth as a player and leader reflected his hard work and character.
The trade occurs as the Eagles sit with a 2-7 record following a 19-11 divisional loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. That defeat extended Philadelphia’s losing streak to seven games, its longest skid since dropping eight straight contests in 2012. The team now enters its Week 10 bye before hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.
Starting quarterback Jalen Hurts was sidelined for the Giants game. Rookie Joe Milton III made his first career start, throwing for 169 yards while being sacked seven times and losing a fumble. The Eagles have positioned themselves as sellers ahead of the trade deadline.
Jacksonville has been active in the market, completing three defensive acquisitions on Monday. In addition to Davis, the Jaguars added safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux.
