Jacksonville Adds Former Georgia Star Jordan Davis
The Jaguars add a Pro Bowl safety and two defensive tackles as they try to strengthen a unit that ranked near the bottom last season.
- On Monday, the Jacksonville Jaguars acquired safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons, defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles, and defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints.
- Injuries to safety Eric Murray and cornerback Caleb Ransaw forced the 6-2 Jaguars to address defensive weaknesses; the team ranks 22nd in passing yards allowed per game at 229.0.
- Jacksonville surrendered a 2027 first-round pick for Davis, who has a 38% run stop win rate, and a 2027 second-round pick for Bates, who has 28 career interceptions.
- These moves occurred with nearly 36 hours remaining before Tuesday's 4 p.m. trade deadline, while the Jaguars face a projected $15.4 million salary cap deficit in 2027 per OverTheCap.
- Jacksonville's Super Bowl odds improved from +850 to +750 after the trades, positioning the team third behind the San Francisco 49ers and Buffalo Bills .
