Sources: Jaguars bolster secondary, land safety Bates in trade with Falcons
The Jacksonville Jaguars bolstered their secondary one day before the NFL trade deadline, acquiring veteran safety Jessie Bates III from the Atlanta Falcons, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Jacksonville traded a 2027 second-round draft pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick to Atlanta in the deal, sources told Schefter.
Bates, 29, has played parts of nine seasons with the Falcons and Cincinnati Bengals. He was a Pro Bowler in his first season with the Falcons in 2023.
