What happened: The Jaguars are trading tight end Hunter Long to the Cardinals, according to NFL Media. Arizona will send Jacksonville a 2028 sixth-round pick and receive a 2028 seventh-round pick along with Long. Long had 12 catches for 85 yards and two touchdowns in nine games for the Jaguars last season.

Why it matters: The move addresses a depth question behind Trey McBride in Arizona, where Tip Reiman remains on the physically unable to perform list and would miss at least four games if he stays there through the cut to 53 players. Long has now changed teams three times since entering the league, having gone from Miami to the Rams as part of the Jalen Ramsey trade before the 2023 season and then to Jacksonville.

By the numbers: Long: 12 catches, 85 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns in 9 games with Jacksonville last season. Drafted by the Dolphins in the third round in 2021.

What to watch: Watch whether Reiman comes off the PUP list before Arizona's roster cuts, and how the Jaguars fill the tight end spot behind their depth chart.
