The Jacksonville Jaguars made three trades on Monday, November 9, 2026, acquiring safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons, defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New Orleans Saints, and defensive tackle Jordan Davis from the Philadelphia Eagles. The team sent draft picks in exchange for the players.

Bates, a Pro Bowl safety, joins the Jaguars' secondary after four seasons with the Falcons. Godchaux, a run-stuffing interior lineman, arrives from the Saints where he spent five years. Davis, a first-round pick in 2022, adds depth to the defensive line after two seasons with the Eagles.

The moves signal Jacksonville's aggressive approach to bolstering its defense ahead of the second half of the 2026 NFL season.
