On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
So far, the Eagles have accumulated 10 first- and second-round picks over the next three drafts, putting them in a position to make big moves in the draft and in the trade market.
Davis, 26, signed a three-year, $78 million contract extension with the Eagles in the offseason, but the 13th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has struggled in 2026.
The Eagles are near the bottom of the league against the run.
Davis’ snaps were down in 2026. His share of defensive snaps fell from 61% in 2025 to 52%.
In 2025, Davis had 72 tackles and 4.5 sacks. Through nine games this season, the five-year veteran has 31 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Trading Davis could make it easier for the Eagles to re-sign DT Moro Ojomo, who is in the final year of his rookie deal.
No one expected the Eagles, who have lost seven straight after falling to the Giants on Sunday, to be 2-7 after nine games.
However, injuries have ravaged this team, including their starting quarterback Jalen Hurts (blood clots), who is out for the season.
With the trade deadline set for Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, Howie Roseman and the Eagles might not be done. Philadelphia could make more moves as they prepare to rebuild in 2027.
Before the Davis trade was announced, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was asked if the team would be sellers at the trade deadline.
“What I’m worried about and what I’m considering is how we get better and how we get out of this funk that we’re in,” he said. “That is my job: to right the ship. That’s all I’m focused on right now. We’ll see what happens with everything, but my job is to right the ship and to do everything I can to do so.”
