The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to become a genuine competitor in the AFC as they head into the 2024 NFL season. The team hasn’t lived up to the hype since Trevor Lawrence joined.
Perhaps this year will be the one when they can finally put everything together. Their performance in Lawrence’s play will be a major factor in their success or failure. Since being selected first overall in the draft, he has not performed like the generational superstar that many had assumed he would be. Still, he possesses that talent and ability, just waiting to be released.
It was a major setback for the Jaguars when wide receiver Calvin Ridley ended up leaving during the NFL offseason. However, they managed to sign Gabriel Davis when he was cut by the Buffalo Bills. They added players like Mitch Morse, Darnell Savage Jr., Ronald Darby, Devin Duvernay, and Arik Armstead in free agency in addition to Davis. They might not be done, even though they have taken a lot of action this offseason. The Jacksonville Jaguars would seize the chance to get better if it presented themselves.
Jacksonville Jaguars Trade For Star Cornerback In New Blockbuster Proposal.
Bleacher Report examined a few potential deals as the regular season got closer and closer. They had the Jacksonville Jaguars acquire great cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints in one particular suggestion.
Here is how the proposed trade between the two teams would look:
New Orleans Saints Receive: 2025 Round 3 Pick, 2026 Round 5 Pick
Jacksonville Jaguars Receive: CB Marshon Lattimore.
From an external perspective, the agreement appears to be rational for both sides. Rumor has it that Lattimore is free agent available, and the Saints don’t appear willing to pay to retain him in the long run. The Jacksonville Jaguars would acquire the elusive lockdown cornerback their defense has been missing if they traded for Lattimore. For many years, he has been among the greatest in his job. Getting him would greatly increase their chances of competing in 2024.
The Saints, meanwhile, would be letting go of a player who doesn’t appear to fit into their long-term objectives. Obtaining draft capital in the third and sixth rounds would be highly advantageous. They may add young talent on team-friendly contracts, or they could swap those assets for something else. Lattimore finished the 2023 season with 48 total tackles, an interception, and eight passes defended while playing for the Saints. Only 10 games throughout the regular season produced those results.
That being stated, the Jacksonville Jaguars should find this to be a highly intriguing notion. Though it’s merely conjecture, the concept makes sense.
