- What Jacksonville Jaguars players could be moved at NFL trade deadline? We ranked 'em
The Jacksonville Jaguars are unlikely sellers at the 2025 NFL trade deadline , but that doesn't mean players are completely off limits.
At 4-3, the Jaguars are squarely in the thick of the playoff hunt and could opt to upgrade the team by trading for other players. Jaguars head coach Liam Coen and general manager James Gladstone have shown no hesitation to make a move if it makes sense.

The team has brought in a couple of players, including receiver Tim Patrick ( Detroit Lions ) and defensive tackle Khalen Saunders ( New Orleans Saints ). They made those moves ahead of the regular season.

The team has also shown a willingness to part ways with players if they can find an upgrade.
Jacksonville exercised this right by sending cornerback Tyson Campbell to the Cleveland Browns for CB Greg Newsome II. The deal also included draft-pick considerations.

The Jaguars are very unlikely to trade anyone ahead of the 2025 NFL trade deadline. The team has a lot of players who are still getting better and trading away good players on a rebuilding roster might not make sense.

Still, the team was quick to offload receiver Christian Kirk and tight end Evan Engram , while they recently found a new team for Campbell, trading running back Tank Bigsby to the Eagles just a game into the regular season.
For emphasis, though, the team is very unlikely to trade away players, especially ones who currently start or play a major role with the team.
Still, for the sake of this exercise, let's take a look.

Why he could be moved:Little is less than a year into his three-year, $45 million contract extension. Still, the team could want to get more out of the position under new leadership. If Little leaves, the team could move Anton Harrison to left tackle or start third-round pick, tackle/guard Wyatt Milum at the spot.

What Jaguars could get in return:If a team is in desperate need of a tackle, the Jaguars can probably get a fourth-round pick. It's rare for a starting-caliber tackle to be dealt in-season, but if Jacksonville wants to get something for a player they don't view as part of the long-term future, they might as well.

Why he could be moved:Smith hasn't thrived in Jacksonville since being drafted by the team in the second round of last year's draft. He was hurt for most of training camp and hasn't been effective this year in 36% of the team's defensive snaps.

What Jaguars could get in return:Smith has a lot of potential and perhaps could thrive in the right environment. The team could net a fifth-round pick from a team looking to reenergize Smith's young career. Perhaps a player swap?
Jarrian Jones , Cornerback

Why he could be moved:Jones has taken a backseat since the team signed nickel Jourdan Lewis and traded for Newsome. The team also likes Montaric Brown outside more than Jones, who is more natural inside, playing man-to-man coverage.
What Jaguars could get in return:Jones had a decent rookie season and should be able to easily net a fourth or fifth-round pick from a team.
