Eagles trade defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jaguars for future draft picks
Philadelphia sent DT Jordan Davis to Jacksonville in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick, while the Jaguars also acquired safety Jessie Bates III and DT Davon Gochaux in separate deals.
Philadelphia traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars, receiving a first-round selection in the 2027 draft and a second-round selection in 2029. The transaction was reported by ESPN reporter Adam Schefter.
The move follows Jacksonville's earlier acquisitions on the same day: a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick were sent to the Atlanta Falcons for safety Jessie Bates III, and a 2028 sixth-round pick was exchanged with the New Orleans Saints for defensive tackle Davon Gochaux.
Davis, who signed a three-year, $78 million extension in March, will generate a $15.428 million cap charge for Philadelphia in 2027. The Eagles also covered an $18.79 million signing bonus and half of his $1.215 million base salary.
Analysts noted that the trade reflects Philadelphia's willingness to move veteran contracts for draft assets, while Jacksonville's series of defensive acquisitions positions the team as a contender for the upcoming season.
