PHILADELPHIA, PA — The Philadelphia Eagles executed a blockbuster trade Monday night ahead of the NFL trade deadline, sending star Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a haul of draft picks, both teams announced.
The Eagles will receive a 2027 first round pick and a 2029 second round pick.
Davis is having a less pronounced year in 2026, but the 26-year-old defensive tackle is just a year removed from a monster season in 2025.
Davis was the Eagles 13th overall pick in the 2022 draft and a key piece of the dominant defense that won a Super Bowl championship. He played in all 17 games from 2023 to 2025.
The move comes amid a nightmare season for the Birds, who lost franchise quarterback Jalen Hurts for the season to blood clots in his lungs. The team's handling of the situation has been widely criticized and has a sparked a joint investigation by the league and the player's association.
The Birds started off 2-0 but have lost 7 straight, including every game without Hurts.
