Jaguars land Jordan Davis from Eagles in blockbuster trade deadline deal

Jacksonville sends Philadelphia a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to reunite Davis with former Georgia teammate Travon Walker.

The Eagles are parting with defensive tackle Jordan Davis, and the AFC South-leading Jaguars are the ones picking him up. Jacksonville is sending Philadelphia a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick for Davis, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The move reunites Davis with Travon Walker, his former Georgia teammate who helped the Bulldogs win the national championship following the 2021 season. Both players entered the league as first-round picks in 2022, with Jacksonville taking Walker first overall and Philadelphia grabbing Davis at No. 13. More than four years later, their paths cross again in Jacksonville's front.

The Eagles framed the return as too good to pass up, with the team saying the Jaguars made an offer that executive vice president and general manager Howie Roseman could not refuse.

Davis is actually the third defender Jacksonville has acquired in trades on the same Monday. The Jaguars also sent a second-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for safety Jessie Bates, who is in the final year of his contract, and made a separate deal for defensive lineman Davon Godchaux of the Saints. The flurry of moves signals Jacksonville is not waiting around this season.
