Eagles Trade Davis For 2027, 2029 Picks

The Philadelphia Eagles sent defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for two future draft picks. The team confirmed the move on Monday, signaling a shift in strategy as the season progresses.

Philadelphia will receive a first-round pick in 2027 and a second-round pick in 2029. These selections are the direct cost for acquiring Davis, who is 26 years old.

Davis entered the league through the 2022 NFL Draft, where the Eagles selected him 13th overall out of the University of Georgia. During his time in Philadelphia, he developed from an All-Rookie selection into a primary run defender and a leader within the locker room. His peers voted him a team captain for the 2026 season.

The Eagles credited Davis with helping the franchise win three NFC East titles, two NFC Championships, and Super Bowl LIX. His 2025 season produced 72 tackles, 4.5 sacks, and 22 quarterback pressures. That performance made him the first player in team history to win both NFC Defensive Player of the Week and NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors in the same year.

In a statement, the team expressed gratitude for Davis’s contributions on the field and in the community over the past five years. They noted his role in the team’s culture and success, which included two Super Bowl appearances and a championship in 2024.

The trade occurs while the Eagles sit at 2-7 following a 19-11 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday. That defeat extended their losing streak to seven games, the longest such skid since 2012. Rookie quarterback Joe Milton III started in place of Jalen Hurts, throwing for 169 yards while suffering seven sacks and a fumble.

The Eagles enter their Week 10 bye and will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Jacksonville has made multiple defensive acquisitions, including safety Jessie Bates III and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux, alongside the trade for Davis.
