Summary
Jacksonville capped a deadline-day push by sending Philadelphia a 2027 first-rounder and 2029 second-rounder for Jordan Davis, the centerpiece of three defensive trades aimed at a Super Bowl run.
DaVon Hamilton's season-ending quad injury opened a major hole at nose tackle, and the Jaguars' run defense then allowed 172 yards against Baltimore in its first game without him.
Davis, 26, arrives with a three-year, $78 million extension already in place after a 2025 breakout, though his 2026 production has dipped to 1.5 sacks and 31 tackles in nine games.
Jacksonville also acquired safety Jessie Bates III from Atlanta for a 2027 second and 2028 fifth, plus tackle Davon Godchaux from New Orleans for a conditional 2028 sixth.
For Philadelphia, the move gives the 2-7 Eagles 10 picks in the first two rounds over the next three drafts and more flexibility to extend Moro Ojomo alongside Jalen Carter.
