- 5 Jacksonville Jaguars who could move on before NFL trade deadline
It's trade season.
After the Jacksonville Jaguars officially kicked off the most chaotic time in the NFL season with a midseason exile of Roy Robertson-Harris for a late-round pick, teams are going to start swapping players, picks and pieces for the next several weeks.

The New York Jets got in on the action this morning, sending a conditional fourth round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders for Davante Adams , reuniting Adams with former teammate Aaron Rodgers .
And the Bills acquired another pass catcher for Josh Allen , acquiring Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns .

The Lions also lost pass rusher Aiden Hutchinson to a season-ending leg injury, creating a hole on their roster as they continue their Super Bowl aspirations. Will they try to make a splash to stay in the mix for a championship?

As for the Jaguars, they have several players who could fit needs on other teams and general manager Trent Baalke might be tempted to test the waters if the value is there.
After the team got out to a 1-5 start, something has to change according to head coach Doug Pederson. Maybe that change will come in the form of a roster shake up.
Let's take a look at five Jacksonville Jaguars players who could be traded ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline.
Cam Robinson , Offensive tackle

Robinson could garner a lot of trade interest from teams who're looking to sure up their offensive line. The eight-year veteran out of Alabama has been a longtime starter for the Jaguars, but the team has a bit of a premium at offensive tackle.

THE FUTURE: NFL owners put stadium deal between Jacksonville Jaguars and city over goal line
Anton Harrison is likely the left tackle of the future and backup Walker Little has the capability to play left or right tackle. It'll be interesting to see if the Jaguars would be willing to part ways with him after so many years of service.
Walker Little, Offensive lineman

For the same reasoning as why Robinson could be traded, Walker Little could see his time with the Jaguars come to an end this season. Little is currently the backup swing tackle for Jacksonville.
With capabilities to play on wither side of the line, a team may want him to fill a gap they have. When you factor in Javon Foster —the 2024 fourth-round offensive lineman who the team has been cross training to be a swing tackle—if Baalke gets good enough value, he might be inclined to make the trade.

Andre Cisco , Safety
This one might look bad on the surface. After his comments last Sunday about players quitting , shipping him off would seem like a punishment for speaking out. The team is thin at safety right now with Cisco being one of three players at the position.
But soon, that number will go to five with Tashaun Gipson returning from suspension and Andrew Wingard returning from the injured reserve list. And Darnell Savage can be deployed in the role if need be.
Cisco is also in the last year of his deal, meaning he could leave this offseason and the team wouldn't get anything back.
Parker Washington , Wide receiver

This is a weird one. Washington was one of the players who looked much improved this offseason but has not seen much of the field on offense.

That's largely due to the relative health of the receiver room and emergence of rookie Brian Thomas Jr.
With Devin Duvernay on IR, the opportunity might arise for a few more snaps. His real value right now is as the punt returner, but the Jaguars could deploy other players to do that job.
Devin Lloyd , Linebacker

To be honest, of all the players here this seems the least likely to happen before the deadline.
Foye Oluokun is on IR and won't be eligible to come off for another two weeks. Even if he returns, linebacker is a position where it pays to have good depth.
The emergence of Ventrell Miller this year is a big part of why Lloyd could be traded. On a defense that's been disappointing, Miller has been a bright spot with how he finds the ball carrier and brings down players.

Again, it's probably not likely but it'd be about what value the team gets back.
