Summary
Jacksonville made the deadline’s biggest defensive splash by landing Jordan Davis, Davon Godchaux and Jessie Bates, extending an already aggressive Monday.
The Jaguars paid heavily to do it, sending out a 2027 first-round pick, a 2027 second, a 2028 fifth, a 2028 sixth and a 2029 second.
Bates alone cost a 2027 second-rounder and a 2028 fifth, with Atlanta also taking on part of his salary in the safety deal.
The moves underline a clear win-now strategy as Jacksonville tries to fortify a contender before the 4 p.m. ET NFL trade deadline.
