The Jacksonville Jaguars are currently exploring trade options for several key players as they look to reshape their roster ahead of the upcoming NFL season. Among the notable players on the trade market is edge rusher Josh Allen. Allen, who was drafted seventh overall in 2019, has been a standout performer for the Jaguars, particularly in the 2023 season where he recorded 17.5 sacks and 46 pressures​.
The decision to potentially trade Allen is primarily driven by the team’s salary cap constraints. With Allen poised to command a significant salary, potentially under the franchise tag, the Jaguars are considering their options to ensure they have the financial flexibility to address other roster needs​ Another player who has generated trade buzz is wide receiver Zay Jones.
The recent acquisition of receiver Gabe Davis on a three-year, $39 million deal has created speculation that the Jaguars might part ways with Jones. Davis’ arrival adds a deep threat to the Jaguars’ offense, which could make Jones expendable, especially as the team looks to manage its cap space effectively
In addition to these potential moves, the Jaguars have been active in other roster adjustments. They traded a sixth-round pick to the New England Patriots for quarterback Mac Jones, aiming to provide solid backup for Trevor Lawrence​ (Black and Teal)​. This trade, along with several free-agent signings such as Mitch Morse (center) and Darnell Savage (safety), underscores the Jaguars’ strategy to strengthen their team while navigating salary cap challenges​.
The Jaguars’ front office, led by general manager Trent Baalke, is focused on making strategic decisions that balance immediate competitiveness with long-term stability. Whether these trade discussions result in actual deals remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Jacksonville is actively seeking ways to optimize their roster for the 2024 season and beyond.
