Jaguars acquire defensive tackle Jordan Davis from Eagles for future picks

The Jacksonville Jaguars have completed a trade for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, sending a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles. Davis, the No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, signed a three-year, $78 million extension with the Eagles earlier this offseason and recorded 31 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two tackles for loss this season, after posting a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2025.

The move adds to the Jaguars' recent defensive acquisitions, which also include safety Jessie Bates and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, as the team seeks to strengthen a top-10 defense. Davis becomes the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history under his previous contract, which included $65 million in guaranteed money and ties him to the Eagles through the 2029 season.

The Eagles had not confirmed whether they would retain Davis beyond the 2029 deadline, and the trade suggests they are exploring options ahead of the May 1 deadline. The transaction was reported by NBC Sports.
