Jaguars are acquiring guard Daniel Faalele from the Giants for a draft pick, AP source says
- 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 familiar with the deal.
- The trade had not been finalized when the information was provided, and the source spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
- Jacksonville has been dealing with injuries along its offensive line, including issues for right guard Patrick Mekari and right tackle Cole Van Lanen.
- Faalele had been working with the Giants' second unit in training camp and lost a path to a starting job after the team drafted Francis Mauigoa.
- Faalele started all 17 games for Baltimore in each of the past two seasons and has played in 71 NFL games since entering the league in 2022.
The Jacksonville Jaguars are set to add guard Daniel Faalele in a trade with the New York Giants, with the deal expected to bring Jacksonville an undisclosed late-round 2027 draft pick in return, according to a person with knowledge of the agreement.
The move comes as the Jaguars try to stabilize an offensive line that has been hit by injuries. Right guard Patrick Mekari recently had back surgery, right tackle Cole Van Lanen is on the physically unable to perform list, and several backups have also missed time during camp.
Faalele had been taking second-team reps with the Giants, but his path to a starting role narrowed after the team drafted Francis Mauigoa and planned to use him at guard. Faalele is 26.
He started all 17 games for Baltimore over the past two seasons and has appeared in 71 NFL games since debuting in 2022. AP reported that Newsday was first to report the agreement.
美联社消息：美洲虎将用一个选秀权从巨人队交易来后卫丹尼尔·法莱莱
据知情人士透露，杰克逊维尔美洲虎正与纽约巨人队达成一笔交易，换来后卫丹尼尔·法莱莱，回报则是一个未公开的2027年晚轮选秀权。
这笔交易发生在美洲虎进攻线伤病增多的背景下。球队右卫帕特里克·梅卡里近期接受了背部手术，右截锋科尔·范兰恩被列入无法上场名单，其他替补球员也曾在训练营中缺席。
法莱莱在巨人队训练营里主要参加二组训练，但球队选中弗朗西斯·毛伊戈阿并计划让他打护锋后，法莱莱争取首发的空间缩小。法莱莱现年26岁。
他在过去两个赛季为巴尔的摩连续首发17场，自2022年进入NFL以来共出战71场比赛。美联社报道称，这笔交易最先由《Newsday》披露。
