Jaguars consider trade for defensive tackle Daron Payne ahead of deadline

The Jacksonville Jaguars are reportedly exploring the potential trade of defensive tackle Daron Payne as the November 10 trade deadline approaches. Currently 3-1 and leading the AFC South, the Jaguars have improved on defense but could strengthen their interior line. Payne, unlikely to re-sign with the Washington Commanders, has recorded 12 pressures this season without a sack. His presence could help stabilize the Jaguars' pass defense, which has allowed 280.3 passing yards per game. A trade may require a third or fourth-round pick, a strategic decision for a team aiming for its first Super Bowl appearance.
