Can a double displacement reaction be a redox reaction ?

For it to be a redox reaction, elements have to change oxidation states and that does not happen in double replacement reactions.
E.g AgNO3+NaCl→AgCl+NaNO3
Ag is +1 before and after the reaction;
Na is +1 before and after the reaction too;
Both NO3 and Cl are -1 before and after the reaction;
Therefore, it is not a redox reaction.
