Jordan Davis Says He’s Disappointed After Eagles Trade Him to Jaguars

Davis, a member of Philadelphia’s Super Bowl LIX-winning team, was preparing to leave the city after the Eagles sent him to Jacksonville. The defensive tackle was selected 13th overall in the 2022 NFL Draft.

Speaking at the airport, Davis said he understood that the Eagles were rebuilding and that the draft picks could help the team. He added that he was glad the deal could benefit Philadelphia, even as he departed.

Davis thanked Eagles fans for their support, including their cheers and boos, and said they had not seen the last of him. Fans responding to his departure expressed sadness and wished him well in Jacksonville.

The Jaguars have also acquired safety Jessie Bates from Cincinnati and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from New Orleans as they seek to strengthen their defense and contend in the AFC. Davis joins a team that has made several moves ahead of the trade deadline.
