The Philadelphia Eagles traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round selection, the team announced Monday.
Davis signed a three-year, $78-million extension with Philadelphia in March and is under contract through the 2029 season. He's suited up in all nine games this year, recording 31 tackles, three quarterback hits, and 1.5 sacks.
The 26-year-old was selected in the first round of the 2022 draft. He's been one of the NFL's premier run-stuffing defensive tackles over the last couple of years and played a crucial role in Philly's 2024 Super Bowl run.
Davis' best season came in 2025, when he ranked second in solo tackles among all defensive tackles, according to PFF. He also posted nine tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.
However, Davis has primarily been a two-down player in 2026 and has played the third-most snaps among Philly's defensive tackles behind Jalen Carter and Moro Ojomo. He's played 34 third-down snaps this season, seventh on the Eagles, according to TruMedia.
This is Jacksonville's second major trade Monday after the team acquired All-Pro safety Jessie Bates from the Atlanta Falcons for a package that includes a 2027 second-round pick. Jacksonville also acquired defensive tackle Davon Godchaux in a trade with the New Orleans Saints on Monday.
The Jaguars lost interior defensive lineman DaVon Hamilton for the season after he suffered a quad injury in Week 8. He recorded 16 tackles and four quarterback hits through seven games while playing 41.8% of the defensive snaps.
Jacksonville's defense ranks third in EPA/play and seventh in success rate approaching the end of Week 9. The 6-2 Jaguars lead the AFC South and are three games up on the second-place Houston Texans.
The Eagles now have multiple first-round picks in the next two drafts after acquiring a 2028 first-round selection from the New England Patriots for A.J. Brown in June. They are 2-7 and have lost seven straight games for the first time since 2012.
