The Jacksonville Jaguars, with an eye on the Super Bowl title, made a splashy move with a trio of trades for defensive players, led by a deal for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis. The Jaguars sent a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round draft pick to the Eagles for Davis, who was the No. 13 pick in 2022, taken 12 spots behind former Georgia teammate and current Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker.
The Davis move wrapped up a hectic day for Jacksonville, who addressed their biggest defensive weaknesses by sending the Atlanta Falcons a 2027 second-round draft pick and a conditional sixth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. Jacksonville currently has no 2027 sixth-round pick, but it would go to New Orleans if the Jaguars ultimately end up acquiring one.
For context, the NFL trade deadline is set at 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. The Jaguars' blockbuster move came on the heels of losing defensive tackle DaVon Hamilton to a season-ending injury during their Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Hamilton was the key to the run defense, which is why the Jaguars have turned to the 26-year-old Davis to fill that role. Davis has spent four seasons with the Eagles, posting 193 tackles (17 for loss), 9.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
The Eagles inked Davis to a three-year deal, valued at $78 million in a contract extension in March, which begins after the 2026 season. The franchise hopes this defensive reinforcement will stabilize their roster for a deep postseason run.
