The Jacksonville Jaguars kept swinging big and landed another Georgia defensive tackle, striking a blockbuster deal with the Philadelphia Eagles for Jordan Davis.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the terms on social media, saying James Gladstone has agreed to send Philadelphia a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to complete the trade.
“Blockbuster: the Jaguars are trading a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, sources tell ESPN,” Schefter wrote. “This is the Jaguars’ third trade for a defensive player today, while the Eagles now are poised to have 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts.”

Davis, a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, entered the league after one of the most impressive combines ever for a defensive tackle. He carved out a role as one of the NFL’s stronger run defenders at nose tackle, but his pass-rush development never fully caught up, and he was often pulled for Moro Ojomo on passing downs.
Even so, with Brandon Graham retired, Davis had been named a captain in Philadelphia because of his larger-than-life personality and was expected to be a defensive leader for years.
Now he heads to Jacksonville, where he joins a defense that has added pieces like Jessie Bates III as the Jaguars chase a Super Bowl run in the wide-open AFC South. The cost was heavy, but Jacksonville clearly decided the payoff was worth it.

Carson Wentz Just Gave Eagles Fans Another Brutal Reminder
Carson Wentzs latest start offered Eagles fans another jarring reminder of how far his career has drifted from the days when he was supposed to be the long-term answer in Philadelphia. On Monday night for the Vikings against the Bills, he struggled from the opening stretch and never found a rhythm, finishing 8 of 25 for 81 yards with two interceptions before being benched in the fourth quarter.
The performance was ugly enough to draw boos from the home crowd, and the 23-6 loss only deepened the frustration around it. Wentzs 8.9 passer rating went down as the second-worst single-game mark by a Vikings starting quarterback with at least 20 pass attempts, another rough entry in a career that keeps producing painful flashbacks for anyone who remembers the Eagles years.

Howie Roseman Just Reopened A Debate Eagles Fans Know Well
Howie Roseman has never been shy about treating the draft like a long-term portfolio, and this latest stretch of moves only sharpens that reputation. After a few recent transactions did not land the way the Eagles hoped, the general manager has gone back to the familiar playbook of stockpiling future capital, a strategy that always gets Philadelphia talking because it can look either visionary or overly patient depending on how the next few seasons unfold.
The latest deals keep that debate alive. Jordan Davis is now headed to Jacksonville, while Cam Jurgens is on his way to Baltimore, and the returns are centered more on future flexibility than immediate help. For Eagles fans, that means the conversation shifts once again to whether Roseman is building the kind of runway that keeps the roster strong for years, or simply asking the present to wait for a payoff that is still a long way off.

Howie Roseman Just Pulled Off Another Eagles Trade Fans Will Love
Howie Roseman has built a reputation for squeezing real value out of the trade market, and this latest move only adds to it. The Eagles sent defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville and, in return, landed a 2027 first-round pick plus a 2029 second-rounder, a haul that immediately drew praise from former NFL linebacker Emmanuel Acho for the amount of draft capital Philadelphia secured.
For a player who had just signed a three-year, $78 million extension in March, the deal stands out even more. Davis was set to begin that contract after the 2026 season, so the Eagles are parting with a notable piece of their defensive front while banking on future flexibility, and the full impact of the move will be judged by how Roseman uses those picks down the line.
