The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired guard Daniel Faalele from the New York Giants in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, both teams announced on Wednesday.
The trade comes on the heels of Jaguars guard Patrick Mekari’s recent back surgery.
Faalele, 26, started every game at guard for the Baltimore Ravens the last two seasons and joined the Giants as a free agent in April, following coach John Harbaugh.
The 6-foot-8, 370-pound Australian has made 66 career appearances (35 starts) since joining the Ravens as a fourth-round draft pick in 2022.
The Giants have veteran Jon Runyan and 2026 first-round pick Francis Mauigoa as starting guards, making Faalele expendable.
