Eagles, Jaguars' Updated NFL Draft Picks, Salary Cap After Jordan Davis Trade Adds to Wild Day

We have a blockbuster, folks.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are going all in, trading a 2027 first-round pick and 2029 third-rounder to the Philadelphia Eagles for defensive tackle Jordan Davis. It's Jacksonville's third trade on Monday alone.

For the 6-2 Jaguars, it's clear that the team is pushing all of its chips to the center of the table this season, hoping to win a Super Bowl title. An already-strong defense got a lot better on Monday.

In Philadelphia, meanwhile, a seven-game losing streak has led to the inevitable conclusion that the 2026 season is a bust and a retooling will be necessary. Between this move, the offseason trade of A.J. Brown and the midseason trade of Cam Jurgens, general manager Howie Roseman has loaded up on draft capital for the next three years.

Spotrac provided the financial implications of the move for both teams:

How this trade will be viewed in the long term will likely come down to which version of Davis the Jaguars get for the remainder of this season and the duration of his current contract. A run defense giving up just 89.3 yards per game on the ground (fifth best in the NFL) just added a player who is a run-stuffing beast at his best—the upside of the move is obvious.

But to justify the massive cost Jacksonville just paid, Davis indeed needs to be the best version of himself. Hitting that level consistently has been one of his issues throughout his career.

In Philadelphia, meanwhile, it's clear that a significant roster reshuffling is underway. Given the 2-7 start to the season, a reshuffling of the coaching staff may not be far behind.
