Jordan Davis Traded from Eagles to Jaguars Ahead of 2027 Deadline

Jordan Davis, a former first-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles, was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday in exchange for a 2027 first-round selection and a 2029 second-round selection. Davis, who has played four and a half seasons with the Eagles, said he was "a little disappointed" but understood the team's rebuilding direction.

"I'm a little disappointed, but, you know, I understand that they're in the rebuilding process. For the picks, first-round, second-round picks, obviously, it helps the team. I love those guys, so however it can help the team, even in my departure, I'm actually really glad to be doing that," Davis said.

Drafted in 2022, Davis contributed to the Eagles' Super Bowl appearance in his rookie season and recorded a sack in the team's championship win two years later. He entered the 2026 season after posting career-best numbers—72 tackles, 4.5 sacks and six passes defended—and had logged 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks through nine games before the trade.

Philadelphia, which began the season 2-0, has since lost seven straight games and lost starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for the remainder of the year, prompting the organization to shift focus toward rebuilding. The Jaguars, currently 6-2, have been active at the deadline, adding safety Jessie Bates and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux before acquiring Davis, and are positioning themselves as potential contenders.
