Jaguars acquire Eagles DT Jordan Davis in blockbuster trade | Latest NFL News, Analysis and Updates

The Jacksonville Jaguars are going all-in for a Super Bowl push.

The Jags are trading for Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis, sending a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to Philadelphia, the teams announced Monday.

The deal marks the third trade for a defensive player of the day for the Jaguars after acquiring Falcons safety Jessie Bates and Saints defensive tackle Davon Godchaux.

It’s a stunning flurry of moves by Jaguars general manager James Gladstone, who gave up enormous draft capital (five picks total, including a first-rounder and two second-rounders) to revamp his team’s defense a day before the league trade deadline.

Monday’s moves were made to combat season-ending injuries to starting safety Eric Murray and defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton, with Godchaux and Davis providing a new interior tandem for defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile.

Davis, the No. 12 pick in the 2022 draft, has 31 tackles, 1.5 sacks, two tackles for loss and three QB hits in nine games this season.

Davis excels as a dynamic space eater in the middle. His 23 running stops are second in the league among DTs and his 28 running tackles are tied for fourth, according to Next Gen Stats. In 2025, Davis totaled 63 tackles and 50 stops, both second among defensive tackles.

That shows the Jaguars (6-2) think they’re well-positioned for a title run in an AFC where they began jostling for playoff positioning Monday with the one-loss Bills and a host of other two-loss teams (Broncos, Chiefs, Steelers and Bengals).

For the Eagles, the decision to move on from Davis further underscores that this is a lost season in Philadelphia.

“We are extremely grateful to Jordan for his contributions to our team on the field and in the Philadelphia community since we drafted him five years ago,” the Eagles said in a statement. “He has been a key contributor to our team culture and on-field success, including appearances in two Super Bowls and a World Championship in 2024. His growth and development as a player and leader is a testament to his hard work and character. We wish Jordan nothing but continued success.”

The Eagles lost 19-11 on Sunday to the Giants for their seventh straight loss to fall to 2-7 on the season.

Four of those losses came without Jalen Hurts, who is expected to miss the remainder of the season with blood clots, and third-year signal-caller Joe Milton III took over in Sunday’s loss to Tanner McKee.
