Jordan Davis is headed to Jacksonville, and the Eagles are getting a haul in return.
ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported late Monday afternoon that Philadelphia is trading the former Georgia defensive tackle to the Jaguars on the eve of the NFL trade deadline. According to Schefter, Jacksonville is sending a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round selection to the Eagles for Davis.
For Philadelphia, the move comes with the team stuck on a seven-game losing streak and out of the picture in 2026. Davis had become one of the biggest names available, and the Eagles apparently cashed in while they could.
Davis, who played at Georgia from 2018-21 and helped the Bulldogs win the national championship in his final season, was selected 13th overall by Philadelphia in the 2022 draft. He spent his entire NFL career with the Eagles before this reported deal.
He also played a role in the defense that helped Philadelphia win its second Super Bowl championship in 2024, but now that chapter appears to be closing. Jacksonville would be the only NFL home he has known.
The Jaguars, meanwhile, are going all-in. Sitting at 6-2 and in control of first place in the AFC South, they are trying to add talent for a run at their first Super Bowl title. Schefter reported that this was Jacksonville’s third trade for a defensive player on Monday alone.
Philadelphia, on the other hand, is stacking draft capital for the future. Schefter’s report says the Eagles are now positioned to have 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts.
Davis leaves Athens with plenty on his résumé, too. In 2021, he was a first-team All-SEC selection and a unanimous All-American.

Ole Miss spent Saturday trying to protect its place in the SEC race, but Georgia left Oxford with a result that changed the conversation quickly. The Bulldogs rolled to a 42-7 win on the road, handing the Rebels a loss that not only knocked them to 6-3 overall but also sent a jolt through the playoff picture as the rankings shifted in the aftermath.
The fallout was immediate, with Ole Miss dropping to No. 19 in the AP Top 25 and No. 17 in the US LBM Coaches Poll, a slide that makes the path back to the College Football Playoff much tighter. The atmosphere around the game reflected the stakes too, as fans reacted to a lopsided afternoon that left the Rebels searching for answers and Georgia with a statement win that could echo well beyond one Saturday.

Kirby Smart Just Landed A Massive Georgia Recruiting Surprise
Georgia just pulled off one of the biggest recruiting swings of the cycle, landing five-star offensive tackle Mark Matthews after he flipped from Texas A&M. The No. 2 overall recruit and top-ranked tackle had originally committed to the Aggies in May, then backed off that pledge before choosing the Bulldogs, giving Kirby Smart and his staff a major boost up front.
Smart made sure to celebrate the addition publicly on social media, a sign of how much this one matters for Georgia's future in the trenches. Matthews is expected to sign officially in early December, and until then the Bulldogs will keep working to make sure this surprise win turns into a finished deal. [Read more 🡒]
Georgia Heads Into Missouri With One Troubling Injury Question
Georgias trip to Missouri comes with a familiar late-season concern: the health of a secondary that has had to keep adjusting on the fly. Cornerback Ellis Robinson has left the last two games early, first after a knee injury against Florida and then after a thigh or hip issue against Ole Miss, leaving Kirby Smart to sort through another week of uncertainty at a position where stability matters. Smart also addressed the status of wide receiver Craig Dandridge, running back Chauncey Bowens, tight end Elyiss Williams and safety Tyriq Green as the Bulldogs continue to manage a growing injury list.
There was at least one encouraging sign in the recent game, with wide receiver Isiah Canion back from injury, even if his workload was limited. Still, Robinsons availability looms as the biggest question heading into Missouri, especially with Georgia trying to keep its defense intact while navigating a stretch where depth is being tested across multiple spots.
