Jaguars are acquiring guard Daniel Faalele from the Giants for a draft pick, AP source says

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring offensive guard Daniel Faalele from the New York Giants for an undisclosed late-round 2027 draft pick, according to an AP source with knowledge of the trade. The source said the deal was not finalized and spoke on condition of anonymity. Newsday first reported the agreement. The move addresses injuries along Jacksonville’s offensive line: right guard Patrick Mekari recently had back surgery and could start the season on injured reserve, while starting right tackle Cole Van Lanen is on the physically unable to perform list. Other backups, including Chuma Edoga and Walker Little, have missed time. Faalele, 26, started all 17 games for the Giants under coach John Harbaugh over the past two seasons after debuting in 2022 and playing 71 NFL games.
