The Jacksonville Jaguars improved to 5-3 after a nail-biting victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, keeping themselves in both the playoff and AFC South race despite dealing with one of the heaviest injury loads in the league.
With the 4 p.m. trade deadline approaching, expectations are high that GM James Gladstone will look to strengthen the roster. Gladstone has already proven he is willing to swing bold moves, and league insiders expect Jacksonville to be active as they search for help at the interior defensive line and wide receiver.
Whether the Jaguars land a major impact starter or choose a value addition, they are widely projected to make at least one move. Here are eight players Jacksonville is rumored to be pursuing heading into the final hours of the NFL trade deadline.
WR Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas Raiders
Jakobi Meyers has been Jacksonville’s most talked-about receiver target for several weeks. With the Raiders reportedly considering sitting him to preserve his health for a potential trade, Meyers is firmly on the block.
He would immediately give Trevor Lawrence a polished route runner who thrives on third downs and in tight coverage. With Travis Hunter and multiple other receivers injured, his reliability would fill a crucial void.
Jaguars are currently in negotiations with WR Jakobi Meyers as per @raiders1022.
Meyers has also allegedly spoke with Coen and Boselli.

Las Vegas is heading toward a rebuild and wants draft capital, making Meyers a realistic target. A fourth-round pick could satisfy their asking price, and Jacksonville would get a high-floor veteran who fits perfectly into Liam Coen’s timing-based offense. Meyers would upgrade the Jaguars’ passing game on day one.
WR Rashid Shaheed, New Orleans Saints
Rashid Shaheed is one of the league’s most dynamic deep threats, and Jacksonville has internally discussed his fit. The Saints are expected to move him as they retool their roster, making Shaheed one of the most attainable explosive playmakers available. His presence would stretch defenses vertically and create more room for Evan Engram and Brian Thomas Jr. to work underneath.
A fourth-round pick should get a deal done, especially with New Orleans motivated to sell. For Jacksonville, Shaheed offers immediate big-play ability and a boost to their return game. With so many injuries at wide receiver, he provides both depth and a unique skill set that the roster currently lacks.
TE Michael Mayer, Las Vegas Raiders
Michael Mayer is only 24, but his role in Las Vegas has evaporated with the emergence of Brock Bowers. Bowers’ return from injury led to him outproducing Mayer’s season total in just one game, which signals Mayer’s time in Las Vegas may be nearing an end. Jacksonville, meanwhile, is dealing with injuries at tight end and could use another long-term piece at the position.
Mayer still has the upside that made him a second-round pick in 2023, and a fresh start could unlock more of his game. A fifth-round pick would likely get the deal done due to his limited usage. The Jaguars would gain a young TE1 candidate who could contribute immediately and develop long-term alongside Brenton Strange.
DT Quinnen Williams, New York Jets
Quinnen Williams is the biggest name linked to Jacksonville, and the fit is obvious. The Jaguars desperately need an interior disruptor who can collapse the pocket, and Williams is one of the best in the league at doing precisely that. Adding him would elevate the Jaguars’ front seven instantly and help unlock more production from Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker.
New York is listening to offers as it recalibrates long-term, and Jacksonville has emerged as a favorite due to its aggressive nature. A second-round pick or equal-value package could be enough. Williams would provide Jacksonville with a short-term and long-term anchor on the defensive line, drastically shifting the trajectory of their defense.
DT Calais Campbell, Arizona Cardinals
Calais Campbell returning to Jacksonville would be one of the league’s best storylines. He played his best football as a Jaguar, earned Walter Payton Man of the Year honors with the franchise, and remains a beloved figure in the building. Arizona sits in last place in the NFC West at 3-5, while all three division rivals already have six wins, putting them in sell mode.
With rookie first-rounder Walter Nolen III breaking out, the Cardinals may be ready to move Campbell and make room for their future centerpiece. Campbell is still playing at a very high level despite his age, though, as he is the 7th-ranked DT in the league according to PFSN’s DT Impact Rankings. Due to his age, Campbell would cost very little, likely a conditional seventh that converts to a sixth. He would offer veteran leadership and temporary stability at a position of need for Jacksonville.
EDGE Kingsley Enagbare, Green Bay Packers
Kingsley Enagbare is a young pass rusher whose playing time has diminished after Green Bay added Micah Parsons. With minimal snaps and a crowded depth chart, the Packers may view him as expendable. Jacksonville needs additional pass rush behind Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, and Enagbare would be a cheap, upside-down swing.
A day three pick should be enough to acquire him. Gladstone has reportedly monitored Enagbare earlier this season, and a change of scenery could give Jacksonville a productive rotational rusher who can help close games in the second half of the season.
CB Cam Taylor-Britt, Cincinnati Bengals
Cincinnati is leaning into a defensive fire sale after trading Logan Wilson, and Cam Taylor-Britt is viewed as one of the likely next departures. The 26-year-old corner has seen his snaps drop significantly, and the Bengals are willing to move players for draft capital. For Jacksonville, this aligns perfectly with the injuries to Travis Hunter, Jourdan Lewis, and Eric Murray.
Taylor-Britt would not be a long-term guarantee, but he is a low-cost, high-upside target who could stabilize the cornerback depth chart. A seventh-round pick likely completes the deal. He offers starting experience and physicality at a moment when the Jaguars’ secondary desperately needs help.
S Minkah Fitzpatrick, Miami Dolphins
Minkah Fitzpatrick is one of the biggest names involved in the Dolphins’ sudden sell-off. Though not at the peak of his powers, he remains an excellent coverage safety with elite football IQ. The Jaguars could use an upgrade on the back end if they view Andrew Wingard’s struggles in coverage and Eric Murray’s injury as reasons to add a veteran presence.
Fitzpatrick’s value has dipped due to age and regression, and a fourth-round pick may be enough for Miami to move him. For Jacksonville, he would be a stabilizing force who brings leadership and ball skills to a secondary trying to weather injuries and inconsistency.
