What happened: The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired offensive lineman Daniel Faalele from the New York Giants in exchange for a 2027 Day 3 draft pick. Jacksonville inherits a $1.215 million base salary on his one-year contract.

Why it matters: The Jaguars required experienced depth on the offensive line following training camp injuries to projected starters Patrick Mekari and Cole Van Lanen. Head coach Liam Coen emphasized the need to bring in a veteran after the position group was depleted during joint practices.

By the numbers: Faalele started 34 consecutive regular-season games at right guard for the Baltimore Ravens across the 2024 and 2025 seasons. He earned a 56.7 PFF grade last year, ranking 58th among 87 qualifying guards.

What to watch: Faalele will compete for a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of Week 1 against Chuma Edoga and recent draft selections.
