Eagles news: Birds trade Jordan Davis to Jags; Sirianni says no coaching changes; NFL flexes next game off national TV
The Eagles made a blockbuster move ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline and their bye week. Their next game is against the Steelers in Week 11.
The Eagles (2-7) have lost seven straight games and look to be sellers ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline.
They got things started Monday afternoon by trading defensive tackle Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for two picks, including a 2027 first-rounder.
Here are some other Eagles players who could be traded and a look back at the last time the Birds were sellers.
Sirianni said on Monday he had not made any changes to his staff, but the team was still going through the "self-scout process."
The Eagles' next game is against the Steelers (6-2) on Nov. 22 at 1 p.m. after the NFL flexed it off national TV.
Eagles trade Jordan Davis to Jaguars
Howie Roseman's first move of trade deadline week is a blockbuster.
The Eagles traded Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars for a 2027 first-round pick and a second-round pick in 2029, the team announced.
Davis, who had a breakout season in 2025, was signed to a three-year, $78 million contract extension last offseason. But he has not played as well in 2026, and the Eagles were able to move him out for multiple top-end draft assets.
ESPN calls the Davis trade 'a disaster' for Jags
As far as trade grades go, it's hard to imagine a wider gap than the one found in ESPN's assessment of the deal that sent Jordan Davis from the disaster that is the 2026 Eagles to a Jaguars team with Super Bowl aspirations.
The return of a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-rounder was enough to earn Howie Roseman and the Eagles an "A" from ESPN's Seth Walder. The Jags, who were busy making a bevy of moves on Monday, didn't fare as well.
"There's no other way to start this: This trade is a disaster for Jacksonville," wrote Walder, who gave Jacksonville an "F." "The Jaguars are absolutely right to go for it. Entering Monday, they had a 12.8% chance to win the Super Bowl, per ESPN's Football Power Index, second-most of any team and most among AFC teams. And it's why I was OK with them rolling the dice on Jessie Bates III earlier in the day. A late-round pick for Davon Godchaux, too? Fine. But first and second-round picks for Davis? Reckless would be putting it mildly. ...
What's next for Howie Roseman and the Eagles?
A little less than 24 hours before the trade deadline, the Eagles made waves with their trade of Jordan Davis.
What's next for Howie Roseman?
The most likely scenario is the Eagles make one or two more small moves, though the Davis trade shows that really anything is possible.
Eagles got what they needed and more out of Jordan Davis and Cam Jurgens
The Eagles drafted Jordan Davis 13th overall in 2022 and followed that pick by making Cam Jurgens their second selection of that draft at No. 51.
The two became key players for the Eagles. Davis, after a slow start, blossomed into a run-stuffing run defender. He broke out in 2025 and became a team leader.
Jurgens, meanwhile, started at guard while he waited for Jason Kelce to retire, then he slid over to his natural spot in 2024 and helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl.
What draft picks do the Eagles have after the Jordan Davis trade?
The Jordan Davis trade added to a draft pick stockpile that continues to grow for Howie Roseman and the Eagles.
How do teams quickly rebuild? They use these assets to their advantage. And the Eagles have plenty of high-value picks in their cabinet.
Here's a look at their picks over the next three drafts:
Reports: Eagles not trading Moro Ojomo
Hours before the Eagles traded Jordan Davis to the Jaguars, NFL on Prime's James Palmer reported that the Birds had told teams they weren't going to be trading one of their other young defensive tackles, Moro Ojomo, who is on an expiring contract and was the subject of trade speculation in recent weeks.
Now, following the Davis trade, ESPN's Adam Schefter is also reporting the team won't deal Ojomo — which makes much more sense after the blockbuster deal — and will instead prioritize signing him to an extension.
Sirianni denies giving middle finger to fans after loss
A video surfaced following the Eagles' loss to the Giants that showed Nick Sirianni walking off the field with security chief Dom DiSandro. As Sirianni makes his way toward the tunnel in the corner of the end zone, he moves his fingers in a way some fans interpreted as a middle finger.
The coach, who could just as easily have been cracking his knuckles, was asked about the video on Monday and denied the suggestion that he directed a middle finger toward fans.
"When [senior vice president of communications Bob Lange] told me that, absolutely not, that was a surprise to me," Sirianni said. "But absolutely not."
Sirianni says no coaching changes yet
Nick Sirianni was asked during his press conference on Monday if he had made any changes to his coaching staff following Sunday's loss to the Giants. Sirianni said "not right now," but added that his staff was still going through its "self-scout process."
"No, right now we're just going through our [film]. We went through the game this morning," Sirianni said. "Right now, like I said earlier, we're going through our self-scout process. Guys are working on studies right now and we're determined to figure things out and get on the right track and that's what were worried about at this particular time."

More trades around the NFL
With the NFL trade deadline roughly 26 hours away, here are some smaller moves reported by multiple outlets Monday afternoon:
DT Davon Godchaux: The New Orleans Saints are trading Godchaux to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a conditional 2028 sixth-round draft pick that could turn into a 2027 sixth-round pick.
S Andre Cisco: The New York Jets are sending Cisco to the Detroit Lions in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick.
NFL flexes Eagles-Steelers out of national broadcast
The NFL is flexing the Eagles' Week 11 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 22, from a 4:25 p.m. national broadcast to 1 p.m. on CBS.
In its place, the league moved up a much better matchup featuring the Jacksonville Jaguars (6-2) and New York Giants (5-2-1).
It's the first time this season the Eagles have been flexed out of a national broadcast, but it might not be the last.
Eagles telling teams they aren't trading Moro Ojomo, report says
Around the NFL in Week 9
Garrett-Darnold monster duo: It might be trade season, but the biggest trade of the year happened June 1, when two-time Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett went from the Browns to the Rams. Garrett’s arrival coaxed three-time DPOY Aaron Donald out of a two-year retirement, but Donald wasn’t ready for Game 1 (he also missed Game 4 in Philly, but the Rams won anyway). Garrett, meanwhile, did not play for seven weeks after Game 1. When they finally got together on Sunday at Washington, Garrett had three sacks, one of them a strip-sack, in a 20-13 win. Donald remains sack-less.
Giants look toward Indianapolis: As they stand at 5-2-1 atop the putrid NFC East, the Giants are looking to bolster their running game and could sweeten a deal for Colts back Jonathan Taylor in which they reportedly offered second- and fifth-round picks.
Cowboys barely beat lowly Colts: In Indianapolis, the Cowboys gained 508 total yards but still needed a 46-yard bomb from Dak Prescott to set up a game-winning plunge with 63 seconds to play for a 27-23 win. The Cowboys are 4-5 and hold second place in the NFC East.
Mahomes, Herbert both injured: Patrick Mahomes hurt his elbow but continued to play as the Chiefs blew out the Jets, while Justin Herbert hurt his finger and left the game as the Chargers got blown out by the Texans and C.J. Stroud’s five touchdown passes, two of which went exactly 63 yards.
Caleb's wild night: Bears quarterback Caleb Williams went full Jekyll-and-Hyde on Sunday Night Football, ripping two TD passes in a masterful first 20 minutes before throwing three interceptions in his next nine snaps, including back-to-back picks. He added a fourth interception in the third quarter, a career-high, but two plays later the Bucs’ Baker Mayfield fired a pick-six, his second interception of the game. Anyway, the Bears won on a last-second field goal. The six picks were the most combined interceptions in any game this season.
Browns QB shuffle: Deshaun Watson, the controversial Browns starter, might just be controversial after Shedeur Sanders started Sunday and played well in a 23-22 overtime loss to the Saints. Watson, who has been winning ugly, cleared concussion protocol in time to play but Sanders got the start anyway. Browns coach Todd Monken would not say if Sanders or Watson would be his starter in the second half of the season. The Browns are 5-4 in a crowded AFC North.

How are the Eagles’ other offensive coordinator candidates faring?
The decision to hire inexperienced play-caller Sean Mannion as Eagles offensive coordinator figures to stand as one of the team’s dubious offseason moves. But Mannion’s was far from the only name involved in the Birds’ offseason search.
How might things have gone down with some of the other confirmed or rumored names on the Eagles’ radar?
Brian Daboll (offensive coordinator, Titans) - Daboll opted to cast his lot with Robert Saleh and Cam Ward in Nashville. It’s gone poorly. While Mannion leads the NFL’s 32nd-ranked offense of the moment, Daboll’s Tennessee offense is 31st, and the Titans are 1-7 with an anchor.
Mike McDaniel (offensive coordinator, Chargers) - The regression of the supposed Super Bowl-contending Chargers (0-8) is one of the shocking stories of the NFL season, and McDaniel has been a symbol of it. The Bolts are 26th in offense and 26th in passing, with Justin Herbert’s NFL-worst 29.1 QBR among 31 qualifiers not exactly speaking well of any “offense whisperer” reputation McDaniel might have had.
Charlie Weis Jr. (offensive coordinator, LSU) - Weis was the OC during Ole Miss’ surprising playoff run last year, and got a lot of flowers for turning former D-II quarterback Trinidad Chambliss into a household name. But Weis has not fared as well after following Lane Kiffin to LSU - the Tigers have racked up a lot of yards but are an underachieving 6-3 and had a poor offensive day in a 31-13 loss to Alabama on Saturday.
Zac Robinson (offensive coordinator, Buccaneers) - Robinson was part of history when his Bucs beat the Falcons without completing a pass a couple of weeks ago, but Tampa is 25th in offense and Baker Mayfield is 30th out of 31 qualifiers in QBR.
Jim Bob Cooter (offensive coordinator, Colts) - The Colts are in even greater disarray than the Eagles, with a trade deadline fire sale ongoing. Cooter doesn’t call the plays in Indy — that would be former Eagles OC and Colts head coach Shane Steichen — but he’s part of a group that is 27th in offense, with QB Daniel Jones 29th of 31 qualifiers in QBR.
Mike Kafka (passing game coordinator, Lions) - After four years as OC with the Giants, Kafka was shown the door with the rest of Daboll’s staff and landed in Detroit. The Lions are top 10 in most offensive categories though it’s hard to assess Kafka’s impact when Drew Petzing calls the plays for an offense that was already humming when Kafka arrived.
Bobby Slowik (offensive coordinator, Dolphins) — That the Dolphins are 1-7 is perhaps less a reflection on Slowik (and passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo!) and more based on a tanking Miami team’s lack of talent. They’re 31st in passing, 28th in offense.
Matt Nagy (offensive coordinator, Giants) — The former Eagles assistant Nagy has helped the Giants emerge at the top of an awful NFC East despite a QB merry-go-round that has included Jaxson Dart, Jameis Winston and J.J. McCarthy. Nagy wants to be a head coach again and might have enough cachet off a probable Giants playoff year to get back there.
Frank Smith (assistant head coach, Vikings) - Smith would have been a tough sell in Philly coming off four years not calling plays under the fired Mike McDaniel in Miami, and he eventually landed with Kevin O’Connell in Minnesota. O’Connell calls the plays and Wes Phillips is the OC with the Vikings.
Davis Webb (offensive coordinator, Broncos) - The Eagles reportedly requested an interview with Webb before the Broncos promoted him from quarterbacks coach to OC. That move didn’t go great — Sean Payton took play-calling duties away from Webb after the team started 2-2 and ranked bear the bottom of most offensive categories.
Kliff Kingsbury (assistant head coach, Rams) - Kingsbury landed in L.A. with Sean McVay after two years as OC (one good, one not) with the Commanders. McVay calls plays in L.A. and Nate Scheelhaase is the OC.
Josh Grizzard and Jerrod Johnson — We’ll group these two together because the Eagles ended up hiring them anyway. Grizzard, formerly the Bucs OC, is the pass game coordinator and Johnson serves as an offensive analyst. If the Birds move on from Mannion, expect Grizzard to be considered for play-calling duties.

Nick Sirianni still on schedule to speak with reporters Monday
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni will speak with reporters over Zoom for his normal day-after press conference Monday at 3 p.m.
The team confirmed Monday morning that Sirianni will sit for his normal session later in the afternoon.
So if you were looking for any signs that Sirianni would be relieved of his duties the morning after a seventh consecutive loss that left the Eagles at 2-7 heading into the bye week, you can stop looking.
NFL coaches on the hot seat
It's been five seasons since the NFL season made it into November without a head coach being fired.
The last was 2021, when Urban Meyer was sent packing by the Jacksonville Jaguars in December, just through a five-year contract. Before that, it was 2017, when the Giants fired Ben McAdoo at the tail end of a 2-10 season on Dec. 4.
Last season, Brian Callahan was fired by the Titans on Oct. 13. In 2024, Robert Salah was fired by the Jets on Oct. 8 after a 2-3 start.
Uncertainty hangs over the Eagles, but change seems all but certain
Nick Sirianni took a long time before making his way to the podium for his postgame interview. It had been nearly 75 minutes since the Eagles suffered their seventh straight defeat — a despairing 19-11 loss to the New York Giants — and the embattled coach had yet to emerge.
And then he did, and explained his delay.
“I want to make sure I talk to every guy, first of all, after the game. Then a couple of the guys stopped in the office just to talk through it,” Sirianni said on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. “That’s not unusual.”
NFL trade deadline: Which players could the Eagles move?
With the NFL trade deadline near, it’s entirely possible several players donned their Eagles jersey for the final time Sunday.
Dallas Goedert, the tight end who has played his entire career with the Eagles since having been drafted in 2018, said he “always dreamt” of retiring with the Eagles. But he is among a handful of players on expiring contracts who could be moved before the 4 p.m. Tuesday deadline, though salary cap implications — he would count $18.2 million in dead money next season instead of $9.6 million — make him a less likely candidate than others.
Still, Goedert, 31, knows “anything can change.” He spoke to general manager Howie Roseman “a couple weeks ago.”

Eagles injury report
Zack Baun, LB: Baun went down in the third quarter with a back injury after making a hard hit on Giants quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Baun did not return to the game.
Several Eagles players were inactive for the game: WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), WR Britain Covey (knee), LB Jihaad Campbell (hamstring/quad), DB Michael Carter (abdomen), CB Jonathan Jones (hamstring)
Just one team has ever started 2-7 and made the playoffs
After Sunday's loss to the New York Giants, it's hard to even consider the possibility the Eagles could somehow turn the season around. After all, it's been 50 days since the Birds last won a game.
Even if they were able to muster the energy and effort lacking during Sunday's loss, the Birds would have to overcome NFL history.
Just one team in the Super Bowl era has begin a season 2-7 and advanced to the playoffs — the 2020 Washington Football Team, which ended the season with a 5-2 run to win the NFC East with a 7-9 record.
Eagles announcer Merrill Reese was celebrated during Sunday's loss
One of the few bright spots of Sunday's loss was a halftime celebration of longtime Eagles announcer Merrill Reese, who is in the middle of his 50th season as the team's radio voice.
The team surprised the NFL's longest-tenured announcer by revealing the new name of his studio — the Merrill Reese Broadcast Booth.
"Every time I come to this booth, I say two things," Reese told fans. "There's no place in the world I'd rather be, and there's nothing in the world I'd rather be doing. And I hope to do it for years to come."
