Main Story

The Jaguars added defensive tackle Jordan Davis from Philadelphia but kept wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. at the trade deadline. General manager James Gladstone said the Davis trade is not an “all-in” move and stressed that Jacksonville still values its draft picks. The Colts, meanwhile, extended defensive lineman Adetomiwa Adebawore on a two-year deal.

By the Numbers
  • Davis was acquired for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick.
  • Adebawore’s extension is worth $35 million over two years, with $22.63 million guaranteed.
  • Adebawore received a $13 million signing bonus.
Yes, But

Davis said he was disappointed to leave Philadelphia but understood the team’s rebuilding plans. Gladstone rejected the idea that the trade signals Jacksonville is going all-in, while reiterating that Thomas remains an important part of the offense.

State of Play
  • Jacksonville is counting on Davis to strengthen its defense while keeping Thomas and its other pass catchers in the mix.
  • The Colts have secured Adebawore through the 2027 season, with additional roster bonuses tied to 2027 and 2028.
Bottom Line

Jacksonville made a major defensive investment without trading away a key young receiver, presenting the Davis deal as a targeted move—not a surrender of its broader roster-building approach.
