James Gladstone: Jaguars add 'premier' player in DT Jordan Davis

The Jacksonville Jaguars have made the trade official, announcing that they acquired defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles.

In return, the Jaguars are sending a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles, according to Adam Schefter.

This is an all-in type of swing by GM James Gladstone, who shared in a statement why the trade was made.

“Jordan’s impact on the field can be felt on every down,” said Gladstone, via Jaguars.com. “This is a well-rounded premier player and person. We’re excited to add him to the team.”

Davis was a first-round pick by the Eagles in 2022. He is coming off his most disruptive season as a pass rusher in 2025, when he generated 28 quarterback pressures, according to PFF, with five sacks. He’s also been a stout run defender as well.

Davis has Super Bowl experience as well, winning a title with Philadelphia during the 2024 season.

Just this offseason, the Eagles signed Davis to a three-year, $78 million extension that included approximately $65 million in guarantees.
