Jacksonville Jaguars NFL trade deadline updates: Recent news and rumors.
As the NFL trade deadline nears, the Jacksonville Jaguars appear to be in sell mode. Could GM Trent Baalke trade key players like Evan Engram and Travis Etienne, or might a winning streak lead him to pursue additional talent?
Currently at 2-5, the Jaguars are struggling, and there are weekly rumors about coach Doug Pederson potentially being fired. They sit third in the AFC South and are two games out of a playoff spot. The defense is allowing 27.7 points per game, ranking among the worst in the league, and quarterback Trevor Lawrence hasn’t consistently performed like the franchise player they extended for five years and $275 million before the season.
The Jaguars have already traded defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris to Seattle. Several key players, including tackle Cam Robinson, receiver Christian Kirk, guard Brandon Scherff, and safety Andre Cisco, are set to become free agents in the next year or two. This could position the Jaguars to sell at the trade deadline as they look to rebuild for a stronger run in 2025.
**Jaguars NFL Trade Deadline Rumors and News**
Here’s the latest on the Jaguars’ potential moves ahead of the NFL trade deadline:
ESPN reports that Christian Kirk could be a fit for the Chiefs. Dan Graziano of ESPN noted Kirk’s contract is “highly tradeable” and identified him as a trade candidate. He suggested that Kansas City might be a good match, given the connection between Doug Pederson and Andy Reid, along with Kirk’s ability to play in the slot, particularly if the Chiefs seek another receiver. The situation may have changed after the Chiefs acquired DeAndre Hopkins, however.
