The Jacksonville Jaguars made a blockbuster move to bolster their defense by acquiring Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis. In a three-trade deal, Jags sent a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles for Davis, who was originally the No. 13 pick in 2022. Davis, 26, is 6-foot-6 and 336 pounds with strong defensive stats including 193 tackles (17 for loss) and 9.5 sacks in four seasons with Philadelphia.
The trade addresses Jaguars' defensive weaknesses after losing nose tackle Da Von Hamilton to a season-ending injury. GM James Gladstone praised Davis as a "well-rounded premier player" who will help shore up the run defense. This move is part of the Jaguars' 3rd trade to boost defense, joining other moves including the Atlanta Falcons acquisition and a conditional deal with the New Orleans Saints.
The NFL trade deadline is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
