Roseman has always proved his ability to extract maximum value from players in trade negotiations. Davis’ move was no exception, drawing praise from Acho, who believes Philadelphia pulled off another phenomenal deal.
“Shout out to Howie Roseman for another swindle,” Acho said. “He traded a player that 16 months ago was perceived as a bust for a first and a second-round pick.

“He traded a player that is a two-down player, first and second down; you got to take Jordan Davis off the field on third down, more than likely, so you can rush the passer for a first- and second-round pick. He traded a dude that’s had one great season, one good season, and two scratch-your-head seasons for a first- and a second-round pick.”

Acho is not wrong, as the Eagles now have 10 picks across the first two rounds of the next three NFL Drafts. Their 2027 draft capital includes two first-round selections, while they hold two first-round picks and two second-round picks in 2028. Philadelphia also possesses multiple second-round selections in 2029.

However, Acho also acknowledged that Davis performed well enough last season to earn a lucrative contract extension and praised him for landing with a team with championship ambitions. The Eagles signed Davis to a three-year, $78 million contract extension in March, which is set to begin after the 2026 season. Davis recorded 193 total tackles, 9.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery during his time with Philly.
