The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking dangerous heading into Week 10. Jacksonville was looking to make a big swing ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline. The Jaguars did just that on Monday by acquiring one of the best safeties in the entire NFL.
The Jaguars are acquiring former Pro Bowl safety Jessie Bates III on Monday ahead of the trade deadline, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Jacksonville will send a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to Atlanta in exchange for Bates.
Now the Jaguars have a much improved secondary with Bates joining Antonio Johnson, Rayuan Lane III, Kaevon Merriweather, and Jalen Huskey at safety.
