Summary
Philadelphia sent defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-rounder, a steep return for a captain who had just signed a three-year, $78 million extension.
The Eagles took the deal because Davis was playing only 52% of defensive snaps, and the picks give them flexibility to reshape a roster that has slipped to 2-7.
Moving Davis also eases Philadelphia's path to keeping Moro Ojomo, with Davis and Jalen Carter both tied to big contracts and future scheme questions looming if Vic Fangio retires.
Jacksonville is betting Davis can become more than a run stuffer, pairing him again with former Georgia teammate Travon Walker as GM James Gladstone pushes an all-in build.
