Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman pulled off another stunner, shipping defensive tackle Jordan Davis to Jacksonville for a massive return: a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. This isn’t just one big move, it’s a clear signal that the Eagles, currently sitting at a rough 2-7, are pivoting hard towards a major rebuild.
Howie Roseman’s War Chest Is Officially Open
Roseman isn’t shy about making moves, and he is clearly in full asset-acquisition mode. Before the Davis blockbuster, he sent wide receiver A.J. Brown to New England, bringing back a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder. Then came center Cam Jurgens, off to Baltimore for a 2028 second-round pick and another 2027 fifth-rounder. This isn’t coincidence. Roseman is building a serious war chest of future draft capital, setting the stage for a complete roster overhaul. With the NFL Trade Deadline fast approaching, you have to wonder if Roseman is done, or if names like running back Saquon Barkley, tight end Dallas Goedert, and wide receiver Marquise Brown could be next on the move. Even if Tuesday’s deadline passes quietly, the groundwork is already laid out.
The Future Draft Capital Haul Is Staggering
The Eagles are armed with a treasure trove of future picks stretching all the way through the 2029 draft, according to Spotrac. For 2027, they now hold their own first-rounder plus Jacksonville’s first-round pick from the Jordan Davis trade. They also snagged extra fifth-round picks from Baltimore (Jurgens trade) and New England (Brown trade), plus a seventh-round pick from the Minnesota Vikings (Sam Howell trade).
Fast forward to 2028, and they’ve got their own first-round pick plus New England’s from the Brown trade, and their own second-round pick plus Baltimore’s from the Jurgens trade. They also hold all their own picks from rounds three through seven. Then, in 2029, add Jacksonville’s second-round pick from the Davis trade to their own picks across all seven rounds. That’s a serious haul! Roseman has given this team a major jump-start on their impending roster reset with this incredible future draft capital.
This isn’t about the next game for the Eagles; it’s about the next three seasons, minimum. Roseman has armed himself with the ammunition to reshape this entire roster, giving fans a lot to look forward to as this rebuild unfolds. The future might not be now, but it is certainly coming, and it’s loaded with potential.
