The 2026 NFL trade deadline came and went on Tuesday afternoon, with contending teams from around the league bolstering their rosters by adding proven players that they believe can give them the edge needed to make a run at Super Bowl glory in February.
The AFC South-leading Jacksonville Jaguars were among the busiest teams, sending a future first- and second-round pick to Philadelphia in exchange for star defensive tackle Jordan Davis in a move to shore up their defensive front.
Davis’ move to Duval also reunited him with his former Georgia teammate Travon Walker, and he expressed his excitement about the reunion while speaking to reporters Wednesday afternoon.
“When you get traded, it kind of takes you by surprise,” Davis said. “But I think once I touched down in Jacksonville and got connected with my boy (Travon Walker), it was all good and all smiles. Definitely excited to be here.”
Davis and Walker played alongside each other on Georgia’s legendary defensive line in 2021, helping propel the Bulldogs to their first national championship in 40 years. Both went on to be selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft, with Walker going No. 1 overall and Davis being selected at No. 13.
Both players have since developed into dominant forces at the professional level and will now look to help lead the Jaguars to their first Super Bowl title in franchise history, similar to how they helped bring a championship back home to Athens while in college.
