Jordan Davis traded to Jaguars, reunites with Travon Walker

The Philadelphia Eagles announced they have traded former Georgia defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars, pairing him again with former Bulldogs linemate Travon Walker. Jacksonville selected Walker with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, while Philadelphia took Davis at No. 14 that year.

Davis recorded 20 tackles and 1.5 sacks for Philadelphia this season. After making a key contribution to the Eagles’ 2024-25 Super Bowl team, he received a three-year, $78 million contract extension from Philadelphia this past March.

Jacksonville gave Philadelphia a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick in the trade. The Jaguars are 6-2 and lead the AFC South, while the Eagles are 2-7 after losing seven consecutive games.

The move separates Davis from several other former Georgia defenders in Philadelphia. The Eagles still have Nolan Smith, Jalen Carter, Smael Mondon and Kelee Ringo on their defense.

Davis also has experience playing in Jacksonville from his Georgia career. Georgia went 3-1 in those four games. His new team already faced Philadelphia this season, with Jacksonville winning the matchup in London.

The Jaguars play the Tennessee Titans this weekend, while Philadelphia has a bye.

Why it matters

Davis joins Walker on a Jacksonville team that is 6-2 and leads the AFC South. The trade also breaks up part of Philadelphia’s group of former Georgia defenders.
