Daron Payne could be the trade target that turbocharges the Jaguars defense

Carlos Sanchez of Black and Teal argues that Washington Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne would be an ideal trade target for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Sanchez points out that despite Jacksonville's strong start, the team has a weakness along the interior defensive line. With ESPN's Dan Graziano identifying Payne as a potential trade candidate ahead of the deadline due to his expiring contract, Sanchez urges the Jaguars to pursue him.

Sanchez suggests Jacksonville possesses the necessary draft capital, such as compensatory fourth- and fifth-round selections, to potentially facilitate a trade. He also notes that veteran defensive tackle Arik Armstead could be included in a package. However, Sanchez highlights that absorbing the remainder of Payne's $16.4 million salary under the salary cap represents the primary obstacle to completing a deal.
