The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired safety Jessie Bates from the Atlanta Falcons in a trade completed ahead of the NFL's 2026 trade deadline on November 9.
Bates, a veteran defensive back, joins Jacksonville's secondary as the team looks to bolster its pass defense for the remainder of the season. The Falcons receive undisclosed compensation in the deal.
The move comes as both franchises adjust their rosters before the league's deadline for player transactions.
