The Jacksonville Jaguars were not done shopping on Monday. Not even close.

Jacksonville traded a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, the team's third trade for a defender on the day before Tuesday's 3 p.m. Central trade deadline. Earlier Monday the Jaguars landed safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints.

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

A captain on the move

Davis, 26, was the No. 13 overall pick in 2022 and one of the Eagles' team captains. He signed a three-year, $78 million extension with Philadelphia in March and is under contract through 2029. He had been the only Eagle to start all 60 regular-season games since opening day 2022.

His 2026 season has been quieter than his breakout 2025, when he set career highs with 4.5 sacks and 72 tackles. Through nine games this year he has 1.5 sacks and 31 tackles. His snap share has dropped from 62 percent to 52 percent. He had recently revealed he has been playing through a hand issue.

The Eagles thanked Davis in a statement for "his contributions to our team on the field and in the Philadelphia community" and added: "We wish Jordan nothing but continued success."

Two teams heading in opposite directions

Philadelphia has lost seven straight games and sits at 2-7. The deal gives the Eagles 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts. It also clears the way for them to try to extend Moro Ojomo, who will now pair with Jalen Carter, Davis' close friend and college teammate.

"We got better today" Jaguars coach Liam Coen said Monday. Jacksonville (6-2) holds a three-game lead in the AFC South and plays at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
