Eagles trade Jordan Davis to Jaguars for draft picks

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the teams announced on Monday, November 9, 2026. In exchange, the Eagles will receive a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.

The trade is the third defensive acquisition for the Jaguars on Monday. Earlier in the day, Jacksonville acquired safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints.

Davis, 26, was selected by the Eagles with the No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Georgia. He signed a three-year, $78 million extension with the Eagles in March and is under contract through the 2029 season. Through nine games this season, Davis has 31 total tackles and 1.5 sacks.

The Eagles said in a statement: "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. He has been a key contributor to our team culture and on-field success, which included two Super Bowl appearances and a world championship in 2024. His growth and development as both a player and a leader are a testament to his hard work and character. We wish Jordan nothing but continued success."

Philadelphia is 2-7 and on a seven-game losing streak after Sunday's 19-11 loss to the New York Giants. The Eagles are last in the NFC East. Quarterback Jalen Hurts is sidelined due to blood clots and is expected to miss the rest of the season.

The Jaguars are 6-2 and hold a three-game lead in the AFC South. They play at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

The trade clears cap space for the Eagles and allows them to keep interior defensive lineman Moro Ojomo alongside Jalen Carter, Byron Young and Ty Robinson. The Eagles now have two first-round picks in 2027, their own and the Jaguars'.
