Jaguars get Eagles' Jordan Davis in blockbuster trade - ESPN

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars went all-in for a Super Bowl run Monday with a trio of trades for defensive players, led by a blockbuster deal for Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis.

The Jaguars sent a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles for Davis, who was the No. 13 pick in 2022 — taken 12 spots behind former Georgia teammate and current Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker.

The Davis trade capped a busy day for the Jaguars, who addressed their biggest defensive weaknesses by sending the Atlanta Falcons a 2027-second round pick and 2028 fifth-round pick for safety Jessie Bates III on Monday morning and a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. The pick in the Godchaux deal could rise to a 2027 sixth-round selection if conditions are met. Jacksonville currently does not have a 2027 sixth-round pick, but it would go to New Orleans if the Jaguars eventually acquire one.

The blockbuster acquisition of DT Jordan Davis from the Eagles capped a busy day of trades by the Super Bowl-hopeful Jaguars.

The NFL's trade deadline is 4 p.m. ET Tuesday.

The Jaguars needed help along the defensive line after losing nose tackle DaVon Hamilton to a season-ending quad injury during their Week 8 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Hamilton was the key to the run defense, which at the time was No. 1 in the NFL. The team is turning to Davis, 26, to fill that role.

«Jordan's impact on the field can be felt on every down,» Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said. «This is a well-rounded premier player and person. We're excited to add him to the team.»

Davis, 6-foot-6 and 336 pounds, has 193 tackles (17 for loss), 9.5 sacks, one
