Tuesday’s “First Call” outlines some big moves made by an AFC rival, the Pittsburgh Steelers. We provide a health update on Jack Ham. The Duquesne men’s basketball team is trying to improve to 3-0. Connor McDavid keeps scoring. The penguins have come in last place. And a couple of Flyers appear arguing on the bench. Moving and shaking An upcoming Steelers opponent has been a big player ahead of Tuesday’s 4 p.m. NFL trade deadline. They are the Jacksonville Jaguars. They acquired Philadelphia defensive lineman Jordan Davis on Monday in exchange for a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick. Davis is also under contract. He signed a three-year, $78 million extension with Philadelphia in March. The extension takes effect after this season. The move reunites Davis with his former Georgia teammate and current Jaguars defensive end Travon Walker. Blockbuster: The Jaguars are trading a 2027 first-round pick and a 2029 second-round pick to the Eagles for defensive tackle Jordan Davis, sources tell ESPN. This is the Jaguars’ third trade for a defensive player today, while the Eagles are now set to have 10 picks in the first two rounds of the next three drafts. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) November 9, 2026 ESPN also reported that Jacksonville sent the Atlanta Falcons a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick for safety Jessie Bates III. The 29-year-old defensive back is in the final year of a four-year, $64 million contract. He has 28 interceptions in his career, one of them this year. Bates also defended four passes and forced three fumbles this year. The nine-year veteran will replace injured starter Eric Murray. The Jaguars currently rank 22nd in pass defense with 229 yards per game. In a third move, the Jags gave the New Orleans Saints a conditional 2028 sixth-round pick for defensive tackle Davon Godchaux. At 6-2, the Jaguars lead the AFC South by three games over Houston. The Steelers are in Jacksonville for “Monday Night Football” on December 14.
