For the Jacksonville Jaguars , improving the team will always remain a primary objective.

During that time, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said the team would be evaluating everything, including personnel to deploy the best the team can over the final 10 games of the regular season.

By all accounts, the Jaguars have exceeded expectations early on in the Coen-led era, but still have work to do as the expectations adjust with what happens on the field. Jacksonville defeated the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday Night Football in Week 5 before losing the next two games against NFC West opponents.
Given the team's trajectory, Jacksonville could find areas to improve the team on the trade market. They've already been active this season, too.

Jacksonville sent cornerback Tyson Campbell and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the Cleveland Browns for CB Greg Newsome II and a 2026 sixth-round pick a couple of weeks ago. The deal constituted the second big-time trade Jaguars general manager James Gladstone has made with the Browns this calendar year.

Gladstone said when the team traded up with the Browns to select cornerback/receiver Travis Hunter during the NFL Draft, that Jacksonville would not pass on an opportunity that was presented to them.
"If there's an opportunity to be bold, we won't flinch," Gladstone said. And the team has made good on that promise this far, but what's next?

Jaguars trade deadline rumors, news
Here are the latest happenings with the Jacksonville Jaguars around the NFL trade deadline.
Jaguars say team won't trade WR Brian Thomas Jr.
According to The Athletic's Dianna Russini , the Jaguars are "listening on calls" for receiver Brian Thomas Jr., but also said a "move feels highly unlikely."
On Monday, Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said the team had "no plans of moving Brian Thomas Jr. at all," referencing rumors over the weekend.
Thomas has struggled with drops this season after a record-breaking rookie campaign in 2024. Thus far this year, Thomas has 27 catches for 365 yards, one receiving touchdown and a rushing touchdown through seven games.

Jaguars reportedly shopping for defensive help
Also, according to Russini, the Jaguars could be interested in defensive players on the trade market. The Jaguars have struggled to generate a pass rush this year, particularly from inside. The team has used multiple players in the role, including Arik Armstead , Maason Smith and Austin Johnson .
Jaguars trade for Browns CB Greg Newsome III
Ahead of the trade deadline, Jacksonville moved to acquire Newsome from the Browns. The 25-year-old corner has started one game, playing in two with Jacksonville thus far this season and has two tackles. Jacksonville used Newsome in a rotation on Sunday against the Rams (25 snaps) after he totaled nine snaps in his debut against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 6.

Jaguars trade deadline options
Jaelen Phillips, DL, Miami Dolphins : Jacksonville is still looking for viable pass-rush help outside of Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker . With Walker banged up and in a club, the team might want to look for some more help, and could do so if they ask Miami for Phillips. He's in the last year of his rookie deal and will want a payday after the season.
Calais Campbell , DL, Arizona Cardinals : The Jaguars could make a move to fortify their defensive line. Jacksonville has struggled this season with being consistent in that area, and Campbell still has enough juice left to help even at 39 years old.
Romeo Doubs , WR, Green Bay Packers :Jacksonville's receiver issue has been well-documented this season. Doubs could be a trade target if the Packers don't intend to give him a contract extension.

Jakobi Meyers , WR, Las Vegas Raiders : Perhaps the Jaguars pre-scout the Raiders by acquiring one of their players? Meyers requested a trade during camp, and is in the final year of his deal. Jacksonville needs help at the position.
Are the Jaguars sellers on trade market?
There's no reason to believe the Jaguars (4-3) will be sellers during this year's trade deadline, but head coach Liam Coen did say Sunday after the game that the team would be mulling over personnel decisions during the Week 8 bye week.
"We've got to look at the self-scout in all three phases. We've got to look at personnel in all three phases, how we're utilizing it, how we aren't utilizing it, and where do we need to use guys more, use guys less. It's all going to get evaluated," Coen said immediately after the team's blowout loss.

So, while Jacksonville doesn't currently have players ready to be dealt, it doesn't mean they aren't willing to package a guy or two to get a player they want (see: Campbell trade).
