Eagles Trade Jordan Davis for Two Future Draft Picks

Philadelphia sent defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for two future draft picks, a deal that signals the Eagles may be shifting focus after a 2-7 start. Jacksonville is 6-2 and leads the AFC South by three games. The Jaguars also added safety Jessie Bates and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux on November 9.

Davis, 26, inked a $78 million, three-year extension deal in March and is under contract through 2029. He has recorded 1½ sacks this season, down from 4½ last year, while his share of defensive snaps has fallen from 61% to 52%. The trade’s return could be especially valuable to Philadelphia: the picks might fall between 30th and 55th, a range where the team has previously selected several Pro Bowlers and other key players.

The move also raises questions about defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, who can become a free agent after the season. He had six sacks in 2025 but none this year. Philadelphia could still consider a contract extension, while the article argues the team should explore other trades before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. deadline, including for linebacker Zack Baun or running back Saquon Barkley. The Eagles would need to win seven of their final eight games to finish above .500, with a difficult schedule ahead.
