The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed Nov. 9 to acquire defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick, pending a physical.
The Jaguars said Davis, the 13th overall pick in the 2022 draft out of Georgia, has 193 tackles, 9.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss in five seasons with Philadelphia and played in the Eagles' Super Bowl LIX win. General Manager James Gladstone called him "a well-rounded premier player and person." NFL.com and CBS Sports reported the draft-pick terms; the Eagles also announced the same compensation.
The Davis deal was Jacksonville's third defensive trade Monday, after acquiring safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints for a conditional sixth-round pick. The NFL trade deadline is 1 p.m. PT Tuesday. Related: the Bates trade and the 49ers at the deadline.
