Change Team:
This page lists all the 2024 Trades for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the trades. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the trades, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL trades here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

October 2024 – Trades and Signings
Vikings acquire OT Cam Robinson from Jaguars for conditional 4th- or 5th-round pick
At the risk of sounding too hyperbolic, the Vikings just saved their season. It’s true though. Minnesota lost Christian Darrisaw, one of the top left tackles in the NFL, and couldn’t protect Sam Darnold as a result. Minnesota lost to the Rams as a consequence.
Given how much Darnold struggles while pressured, the Vikings were cooked without Darrisaw. Cam Robinson, however, is exactly what Minnesota needed. Robinson is an excellent pass protector, and he’ll be able to keep Darnold safe in the pocket. The Vikings will surrender a fourth- or a fifth-round pick, depending on playing time. The compensation will be well worth it.
As for the Jaguars, you could say that they’re at least getting a somewhat fair return, unlike what the Panthers received for Diontae Johnson. However, given Trevor Lawrence’s regression, I don’t think trading away his left tackle is a good idea. The Jaguars should be doing what it takes to develop Lawrence; not strip valuable pieces away from him.
Grade for Vikings – A

Seahawks acquire DT Roy Robertson-Harris from Jaguars for 2026 6th-round pick
There were four trades that occurred Tuesday. I graded three of them below, but missed this one, likely because I was also busy posting my NFL Picks.
This is a decent addition for the Seahawks. They’re not giving up anything of consequence to obtain a solid rotational piece for their defensive line. Roy Robertson-Harris is a Jack-of-all-trades, master-of-nothing player. He’ll be a welcome presence for a Seattle team that can’t stop the run. Meanwhile, it makes sense for the Jaguars to sell off an aging player because they obviously aren’t winning this year.
Grade for Seahawks – A-
Grade for Jaguars – B+

March 2024 – Trades and Signings
Jaguars acquire QB Mac Jones from Patriots for 2024 6th-round pick
The Jaguars had a major problem late last year. Trevor Lawrence was dealing with so many injuries and playing through them that I called him the black knight from the Monty Python movie. Lawrence continued to take the field because the Jaguars didn’t have a viable backup quarterback, so they were doomed without him.
Mac Jones changes that. Jones had a rough 2023 campaign, but has shown in the past that he can be a solid game manager. He makes for a perfect backup, and it’s not out of the question that he can still be developed. Perhaps if the Jaguars coach him up, they can flip him for a fourth-round pick in the future.
The Patriots, meanwhile, did well to get something for Jones. They had no leverage with everyone knowing that they will be drafting a quarterback third overall, so getting a sixth for Jones is fine. This trade makes sense for both teams.
Grade for Jaguars – B
Grade for Patriots – B
