Giants trade OL Daniel Faalele to Jaguars for 2027 draft pick
Summary

The New York Giants have traded offensive lineman Daniel Faalele to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a late-round pick in the 2027 draft. The trade follows Faalele's reduced role with the Giants, where first-round pick Francis Mauigoa took most first-team reps at right guard. Faalele, who started every game at guard for the Ravens over the past two seasons, struggled in a recent preseason game and was not projected to make the final roster. The Jaguars seek to strengthen their offensive line after guard Patrick Mekari's back surgery, which may sideline him for at least the first four games of the regular season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring guard Daniel Faalele from the New York Giants for an undisclosed late-round 2027 draft pick, according to a person with knowledge of the trade. Jacksonville gets much-needed help on the offensive line, where it has been dealing with a rash of injuries. Right guard Patrick Mekari recently had back surgery to alleviate a lingering issue and could start the season on short-term injured reserve, and starting right tackle Cole Van Lanen (knee) is on the physically unable to perform list.
