The Jacksonville Jaguars had a strong 2025 and ended the season at No. 1 in the AFC South with a 13-4 record. That's great, but what's not so good is that the team didn't get to the Super Bowl, which is their goal.

One NFL analyst thinks the Jags should improve their roster by doing a big trade before the new season.

Moe Moton of Bleacher Report has released a feature where he names one blockbuster trade each franchise should make before the 2026 season starts. "We could get more transactional fireworks this summer, or at least see moves that we expected teams to make, like the Brown deal, before final roster cuts on August 30," he states.

"In 2025, the Jacksonville Jaguars demoted left tackle Walker Little, who lost the starting job to Cole Van Lanen," he explains. "Although Walker filled in at right guard late in the previous season, he's slated for a backup role."

He adds: "Jacksonville signed Van Lanen to a three-year, $51 million extension, an indication he'll continue to start at left tackle. Now healthy, right guard Patrick Mekari will likely regain his starting position."

So, should the Jaguars put Walker on the trade block? He's had 39 career starts and could be good for a fairly high draft pick. He's also more experienced than most benched left tackles, so it would be smart to give him a chance to shine somewhere else and get something for him.
