Exclusive: FOX 29 speaks with Jordan Davis after trade to Jaguars

Scott Jordan Davis tells me in an exclusive one-on-one interview that he is disappointed the Eagles traded him tonight. He loves it here. He loves the Eagles and Philly, he says, will always have a special place in his heart, but he understands it's a business and he says the Eagles are rebuilding. Take a look. We exclusively caught up with Jordan Davis about 90 minutes ago here at Philadelphia International Airport before he went through TSA to board his flight to Jacksonville where he would join the Jags tomorrow. Davis says GM Howie Roseman called him today and broke the news and he's had a lot of emotions processing this thing because this was home for him. Remember, they get a first round draft pick and a second round draft pick for the guy, but Jordan Davis, look, he loved it here. And remember, he won a Super Bowl here. He was a captain. He signed a $78 million contract in March and now he's traded for first and second round draft picks. Here's my exclusive interview with Jordan Davis. Jordan, are you in shock right now? What are your emotions getting traded? Uh, you know, obviously a little disappointed, but, you know, uh, understanding that they're in the rebuilding process and, you know, for the picks first round, second round pick, you know, obviously helps the team and, you know, however, you know, I love those guys. So however it can help the team, even in my departure, I'm absolutely glad to be doing that. I mean, you won a Superbowl here. You're a first round draft pick. You're a captain and you just signed a mega deal. What are your emotions? Questions? You know, I'm disappointed, but optimistic about the future. You know, obviously, Philly's going to have a big piece of my heart. I took a chance on a kid five years ago and, you know, came world champs out of it. But at the end of the day, you know, it's a business. It's the NFL. It's the league. And, you know, I have a new opportunity to make an impact in Jacksonville. What did they tell you? How did you find out today? I got called. I got called. Howie called me. Thank you for having me. And we talked on the phone. But, you know, it's just part of the game. Yeah, I imagine that's a tough conversation. Yeah, I don't know what he's saying. I guess. I guess. But, you know, it's more disappointing than anything. You know, obviously, it's a lot of emotions involved. It's a lot of feelings involved. Well, But at the end of the day, it's the NFL. What's your message to Eagles fans as you leave Philadelphia tonight for Jacksonville? Thank you. Thank you for everything. From the bottom of my heart, it means a lot. There's so many stories I can tell, and I'm just hopeful that I left an impact, and have nothing but good things and memories to look back on. So I appreciate your time, appreciate the cheers and the boos and everything in between, and I'm sure this won't be the last that you all see of me. So if you see me around Philadelphia, don't be afraid to say hi. Davis went on to tell me that, of course, this season has not been ideal, just two and seven, but again, he understands it's a business, and this tells you everything you need to know about Jordan Davis. He told me he hopes these draft picks, that first and second round picks that the Eagles got from the Jags for him, he hopes it works out and the Eagles can reflip and flip this thing around and get going because he loves this organization. We're live at the airport, Jeff Skaversky, Fox 29 News. Jordan said that Philly will always have a big piece of his heart, Jeff, and I just want Jordan to know that he will always have a big piece of our heart too. A lot of folks are sad about him going to Jacksonville. And that video that you posted on social media, Jeff, with the TSA worker patting his back, did you hear what the TSA worker said to him by any chance? He reminded him that they met just a few months ago. So I was talking to the TSA security officer, and he says, I've met Jordan Davis. He showed me a picture of him. So he was bummed to see him go as well tonight off to Jacksonville. He's in the air right now heading to his new home. And now we're rooting for him to win another ring at this point, even though we don't want Jacksonville to be that good. We want a higher pick, but at the same time, wishing him nothing but the best. He was always. You know, he just wears his heart on his sleeve, always good with the media, and just, you know, always was a straight shooter with us. And a joyful big guy. Absolutely, great guy. Yeah. All right, Jeff Skaversky with the exclusive at the airport. All right, Jeff, thank you very much.
