The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons for a 2027 second-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick, with Atlanta reportedly retaining part of his remaining salary. Bates, 29, is a three-time second-team All-Pro and former Pro Bowler who has started all nine games this season, recording 60 tackles, an interception and a fumble-return touchdown. He gives Jacksonville an experienced playmaker for a safety group hit by injuries; Bates is in the final year of his contract. The trade gives Atlanta draft compensation and marks a significant change for the Falcons’ defense.
