Jacksonville have agreed to acquire defensive tackle Jordan Davis from Philadelphia, the Jaguars announced on 9 November. The agreement remains subject to a physical examination.
The Eagles confirmed they will receive a first-round selection in the 2027 NFL Draft and a second-round pick in 2029. Davis was a Philadelphia team captain this season and part of the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX-winning side.
Jacksonville reinforces the interior
At 26, Davis brings experience from five seasons with the Eagles after being selected 13th overall in 2022. Jacksonville's official announcement lists 193 tackles, 17 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks during his Philadelphia career, alongside nine playoff appearances.
The move follows Jacksonville's earlier agreement for safety Jessie Bates III and adds another major component to a defensive overhaul. A separate Jaguars report also confirmed the acquisition of defensive tackle Davon Godchaux for a conditional sixth-round selection.
That report noted that defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton had been placed on injured reserve the previous week. The additions therefore come as Jacksonville addresses availability on the defensive line as well as strengthening the secondary.
For Philadelphia, the Davis agreement adds high draft capital while the club retains defensive tackles Jalen Carter, Moro Ojomo, Byron Young and Ty Robinson. The Eagles' announcement identified that remaining depth when explaining the decision to trade their captain.
