The Jacksonville Jaguars have made their first trade in the 2025-2026 season after their second preseason game.

Just after they played to a 17-17 tie with the Saints in a preseason game, the Jaguars executed a trade to acquire veteran defensive tackle Khalen Saunders on Sunday in exchange for center Luke Fortner. Saunders, 29, will now play for his third team in the NFL after being drafted by the Chiefs in 2019 and winning two Super Bowls with the team.

The New Orleans Saints acquired offensive lineman Luke Fortner from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for defensive tackle Khalen Saunders.

Saunders is a 29-year old defensive tackle who listed as DT2 on the Saints' depth chart behind Davon Godchaux. The big fella had 43 tackles, including two sacks, along with an interception last season for New Orleans.
