The Philadelphia Eagles shipped out defensive tackle Jordan Davis on Monday, trading the former first-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a nice stash of draft capital.
Davis had previously signed a three-year, $78 million contract extension with the Eagles last March, but obviously, Philadelphia preferred to shed that money.

So, what’s next for the Eagles following the Davis trade?
Well, apparently, they are turning their attention to another one of their defensive tackles: Moro Ojomo.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Philadelphia is exploring a potential extension with Ojomo and will not be trading the fellow interior defender.

Ojomo is in his fourth season with the Eagles and is slated to hit free agency at season’s end, but Philadelphia would obviously prefer to keep him away from the open market.
The former seventh-round pick has been a major success story in Philly and had a breakout year in 2025, registering 38 tackles, six sacks and 12 quarterback hits while playing in all 17 games.

Through nine contests this season, Ojomo has logged 24 tackles and five quarterback hits.
The emergence of Ojomo made Davis expendable, and Ojomo will almost surely cost considerably less on a long-term deal. Ojomo will also have more playing time now that Davis is gone, as he had been behind both Jalen Carter and Davis on the depth chart.
Ojomo played his collegiate football at Texas and turned 25 years old back in August, so the Eagles could potentially keep the budding talent through his prime years.
Philadelphia is just 2-7 thus far in 2026.
