Eagles Trading DT Jordan Davis To Jaguars

Adam Schefter reports the Eagles will get a 2027 first-round selection and a 2029 second-round pick from Jacksonville in exchange for Davis. 

Rumors had it that Jacksonville was big-game hunting at defensive tackle and they landed a prize with Davis. Most had connected them to Eagles DT Moro Ojomo but Philadelphia apparently wanted to keep him or preferred the better trade package for Davis. 

The Eagles had just signed Davis to a huge extension worth $26 million a year this offseason, too. 

Davis, 26, was an AP All-American as a senior at Georgia and won the Chuck Bednarik Award and Outland Trophy, given to college football’s best defensive player and best interior defensive lineman, respectively. The Eagles traded up and used the No. 13 overall pick on him in the 2022 draft. 

He signed a four-year, $17,009,274 contract that included a $9,550,381 signing bonus. The Eagles exercised his fifth-year option in 2025 worth $12.938 million fully guaranteed for the 2026 season. 

The team then signed Davis to a three-year, $78 million contract extension back in March. 

In 2026, Davis has appeared in nine games for the Eagles and recorded 31 total tackles, two tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and a pass deflection.
