Ban qb sneaks. Bring back honor

This is an unbelievable trade. A complete steal.

Yes that’s why they traded for him
All career sacks from Jordan Davis. Some good moments but it is not his game. Will need to be a dominant run defender and Jags need to win a Super Bowl for this trade to be justified.

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

Sure if the qb was Daniel jones
If jags don’t win a Super Bowl they are cooked. They are starting to look like the colts from last year….

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.

Thanks Brent
A lot to give up for a safety on an expiring contract (unless they have an extension already in place).

Why?
Excuse me!? It’s going to be hilarious when both the Jaguars and the Bears miss the Super Bowl.

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."

Panthers got cool WRs but only throw to Darren Waller and Tommy tremble

Oof
Glazer: Giants offered Colts a 2nd and 5th-round pick for Jonathan Taylor but pulled the offer.

Does one INT light a fire under QBs or send them into a downward spiral? Good QBs bounce back. Jameis doubles down.

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