What is the story about?

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles in a blockbuster trade ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline.

The Jaguars are trading a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles to consummate the trade, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Davis is a 6-6, 336-pound defensive tackle who the Eagles selected with the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. The Georgia product is an excellent run defender but has also made strides as a pass rusher, logging 9.5 sacks during his career and six sacks over his last 26 games.

Davis will help the Jaguars replace their top run stopper DaVon Hamilton, who was lost for the season to a torn quadriceps muscle, in the middle of the team's stout

run defense.

Davis is the third player for whom the Jaguars traded on the day before the 2026 NFL trade deadline. They also added safety Jessie Bates III in a deal with the Atlanta Falcons and acquired Davon Godchaux, another run-stuffing defensive tackle, from the New Orleans Saints.

While the Jaguars are loading up for a potential Super Bowl run, the Eagles are starting a necessary retool.

The Eagles have started the season 2-6 and are dealing with numerous injuries. They also lost starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for the season because of blood clots in his lungs, so Philadelphia is choosing to treat this as a lost campaign while positioning itself to try to quickly rebound during the 2027 offseason.

The Eagles now have multiple first-round picks at their disposal. That includes their own selection, which is currently projected to come in at No. 5 overall.
