Trade interest in Jeffery Simmons could hint at Jaguars taking a bold swing

Carlos Sanchez of Black and Teal argues that the Jacksonville Jaguars' reported inquiry about defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons signals a willingness to pursue high-profile trades. While the Tennessee Titans ultimately dealt Simmons to the Chicago Bears for two first-round draft picks, Jacksonville reportedly reached out beforehand. Jaguars general manager James Gladstone subsequently noted on the Jags' HQ podcast that trades within the same division are rarely feasible.

With Simmons moved and potential target Daron Payne sidelined by a season-ending injury, Sanchez suggests the market is narrowing. The writer highlights alternative options such as Zach Sieler and Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Moro Ojomo, arguing Jacksonville could make an aggressive move for defensive line upgrades before the deadline.
