Roseman Stockpiles Picks as Eagles Trade Away Core Pieces
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has traded defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. The deal is the latest in a series of moves that has significantly reshaped the Eagles' draft outlook over the next three years.
The Davis trade follows two other high-value deals this season. Wide receiver A.J. Brown was sent to the New England Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick, while center Cam Jurgens went to the Baltimore Ravens for a 2028 second-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round pick. Together, the three trades have netted Philadelphia multiple first- and second-round selections spanning the 2027, 2028 and 2029 drafts. www.racingpost.com greyhounds
The moves coincide with a difficult season for the Eagles, who sit at 2-9. According to the breakdown of Philadelphia's draft capital, the team now holds its own first-round pick plus Jacksonville's in 2027, its own first-round pick plus New England's in 2028, and its own first-round pick in 2029, along with additional day-two selections acquired from Baltimore and other transactions, including a seventh-round pick from the Minnesota Vikings tied to the Sam Howell trade. The Eagles are also projected to receive a compensatory third-round pick following the free-agent departure of Jaelan Phillips.
With the NFL trade deadline approaching Tuesday, further moves are possible. Running back Saquon Barkley, tight end Dallas Goedert and wide receiver Marquise Brown have been mentioned as potential trade candidates. Whether or not additional deals materialize before the deadline, Roseman has already built a substantial reserve of future draft capital that could underpin a broader roster overhaul in the coming years.
