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.
