WOW: The Eagles Have Traded DT Jordan Davis To The Jaguars For A 2027 First Round Pick And A 2029 Second Rounder
Howie Roseman has done it again.
Just eight months after Jordan Davis signed a 3-year, $78 million extension to stay in Philadelphia, the Eagles have traded him to Jacksonville to play for a Jaguar team that's vying to win a Super Bowl this year. The Jags had already traded for two other defensive players TODAY to strengthen that side of the ball, and now they land a third heavy-hitter in Davis. They're gonna be fucking scary.
In return, the Eagles have received Jacksonville's first round pick in this upcoming 2027 Draft. They'll also get Jacksonville's 2029 second round pick, which is quite the fucking haul for the Birds. Especially considering Davis's dip in production this season.
It's a win-win for both parties, but I'm just really sad to see Jordan Davis go. He was such a lovable guy in the locker room. And he was a freak of an athlete to pair with Jalen Carter on the interior of that defensive line. He'll always be remembered as a Super Bowl champion on one of the most frightening defenses in Eagles history.
He'll also be remembered for the fucking wheels he showed on that walkoff touchdown against the Rams. What a unit. What a moment.
The Eagles now have 10 first or second round draft picks for the next three years. I repeat…TEN picks in the first or second round. Between this trade, the Cam Jurgens trade, and the AJ Brown trade (which is looking like one of the most lopsided deals of all time right now), Howie Roseman has clearly been stocking up a bunch of draft capital to turn this franchise around.

The only question becomes whether or not he's lost his touch in identifying top college talent. The past two draft classes since we won the Super Bowl have been relatively dogshit, but I have faith that he'll be able to tap back into his magic.
In Howie we trust.
In the meantime, thanks for everything, Jordan Davis. You will be missed.
