The good news for defensive tackle Jordan Davis is that he’s been traded to a team in a state with no income tax. The bad news is that he may end up working harder than he has.
In nine starts this season, Davis has been on the field for 52 percent of the defensive plays. Given what the Jaguars have given up to get him (next year’s first-round pick and a second-round selection in 2029), Jacksonville may be planning to increase his workload.
Unless the Jaguars make him a three-down player, it will be a massive investment for a run-stopping defensive tackle. And it explains the Eagles’ position that the Jaguars made an [offer that Philly couldn’t refuse](https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/eagles-say-jaguars-made-an-offer-they-couldnt-refuse-for-jordan-davis).
So either the Jaguars gave up too much, or Davis is going to be playing a lot more. There really isn’t a middle ground.
Regardless, the Jaguars are going for it. And it will be harder for them to fly under the Super Bowl radar after the trio of trades they made on Monday.
