The New York Giants traded offensive lineman Daniel Faalele to the Jacksonville Jaguars on August 19, 2026, for a late-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. Faalele, who started all 17 games for the Giants' previous coach John Harbaugh, struggled in pass protection last season, allowing five sacks. This trade addresses a need for the Jaguars, who lost projected starting right guard Patrick Mekari to injury. Jacksonville hopes Faalele can solidify their offensive line as they prepare for the upcoming season, while the Giants gain draft compensation, possibly avoiding a roster cut for Faalele.
