Eagles Sell Jordan Davis at the Deadline and Stockpile 10 Early Draft Picks

The Philadelphia Eagles closed the NFL trade deadline on Nov. 10 by sending defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. The team is 2-7 and last in the NFC East, but it now holds 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts.

The Davis deal was agreed Monday night, the day before the deadline. Jacksonville sent the 2027 first-rounder and the 2029 second-rounder. Davis signed a three-year, $78 million extension in March, eight months ago.

Jacksonville went all in on defense the same day. The Jaguars added safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints before landing Davis. Jacksonville is 6-2 and in the hunt at the top of the AFC.

The Eagles tried another deal that fell through. Edge rusher Arnold Ebiketie was headed to the Cincinnati Bengals for a 2027 sixth-round pick, but Cincinnati backed out after deciding the trade would hurt its compensatory draft pick formula. Jacksonville had asked about defensive tackle Moro Ojomo before landing Davis, but the Eagles kept him.

The deadline grades were kind to Philadelphia. CBS Sports gave the Eagles an A, saying the Davis deal added to the team’s stockpile of picks and could free up the cap space to keep Ojomo. USA Today gave the Eagles an A-minus and the Jaguars a C.

Players the Eagles were expected to move stayed put. Hollywood Brown, Riq Woolen, Landon Dickerson and Dallas Goedert were all mentioned as possible trade candidates, but no other deal came through.

The Eagles are on a seven-game losing streak and have a bye this week. Ojomo and Jalen Carter will fill Davis’s spot. Carter signed a four-year, $152 million extension in the offseason.
