Eagles Trading Jordan Davis, Stockpiling High Draft Picks Like They’re Going Out of Style
Breaker:
“This is the Jaguars’ third trade for a defensive player today while the Eagles now are poised to have 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts.”
God damn! The Jags are really going for it. They already got Jessie Bates and Davon Godchaux, and now Jordan Davis is heading down to Duuuuuuval. The Eagles get a 1st and a 2nd.
Personally, I love it. The Super Bowl window is closed, and it resulted in… a Super Bowl. Now Howie Roseman has shipped out A.J. Brown and Cam Jurgens and Jordan Davis, who signed a three-year, $78 million contract extension in March.
It means the Birds get high picks for another top player and it opens the door for a Moro Ojomo extension. OR – they go even further and keep tearing this thing down and keep adding picks.
Howie Roseman being aggressive and giving himself an off ramp. Getting value wherever it exists. It’s a tale as old as time, or as old as 6-7 years ago.
