The Philadelphia Eagles recently shook things up by executing a blockbuster trade that sent star defensive lineman Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for future draft compensation. The move comes amid the Eagles' disastrous 2026 season, with the team recently losing once again, this time to the New York Giants.
While things are looking dire for the Eagles' chances of turning things around this season, the team does now have a great collection of future draft assets at its disposal.
“The #Eagles now have: Two 2027 first-round picks, two 2028 first-round picks, two 2028 second-round picks, and two 2029 second-round picks,” noted NFL insider Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network on X, formerly Twitter.
Add this to the fact that the Eagles still retain plenty of talent on their roster, many of which are currently injured, and the team's prospects of completing a quick retooling job and getting back into the mix in the NFC next year and beyond appear quite strong.
Davis was signed to a massive new contract with the Eagles this past offseason but will now be taking his talents to Jacksonville, where he will join a Jaguars team that is clearly looking to make a push for a championship this season.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia fans are still growing accustomed to their current losing ways after several straight playoff appearances, but if general manager Howie Roseman is able to hit on all or most of the picks he has now accrued, the 2026 season could end up being a small blip on the radar.
In any case, the Eagles will next hit the field on November 22 for a home game vs the Pittsburgh Steelers.
