Oh yeah that’s the stuff
The Jordan Davis trade is a team-building disaster for the Jaguars.
Trade grades!

Much better DT’s have been traded for less. Run stuffer who struggled with weight most of his career, & has played terrible this year. Almost worse than giving up a high 1 and 2 and a later 1 to move 2 spots in the draft to get 185 pound corner. Good player but huge overpay

arguments against would be how hard is it to find a much cheaper nose that's 75% as good as Davis and that has validity but given hes very cheap (they have no cap next year) and wer always spending a 1st/2nd next year on a DT I see the logic

Looking into the future for the NFL trade deadline:
-Cardinals S Budda Baker gets dealt to the Lions
-Bills GM Brandon Beane will tell the media it takes “two to tango” after offering a 2029 6th for Budda Baker
-Steelers will get Keenan Allen after fans hoped for Brian Thomas
Which is why the Jaguars swang big and moved for Bates. Nothing coming to fruition on the DL
Sources: The #Panthers have received calls on Pro Bowl DT Derrick Brown, but the message has been that he isn’t being moved.
Teams have tried to respond to the Jeffery Simmons trade, but players of that caliber haven’t been available.
Gladstone mentioned on the Jags HQ show couple weeks back when discussing trades, that there were times when they had to essentially pay a tax in form of a higher Draft pick in order to get a team to eat cap money in return- looks like they did that here.
Replying to @jjones9
The Falcons will be eating some of the contract as part of this trade, I’m told. The Jaguars have been in the market for safety or DT help in recent weeks and get one of the best veterans in Bates.
Repeat every year
League source on trade speculation surrounding the Colts, per @HolderStephen:
"This [trade deadline] is pretty likely to be anticlimactic."

Liam Coen offenses in 12 quarters against Jesse Minter defenses since 2024: averaging 36 points per game.
Pretty good!
