Trade between the Saints and Jaguars took place after the game

  • The Saints traded Kalen Sanders to the Luke Fortner.
  • The teams tied 17-17 before the trade.
  • Sanders is a Super Bowl champion.

The New Orleans Saints and Jacksonville Jaguars traded linemen just a few hours after they played against each other on Sunday. According to information from Jeremy, defensive tackle Kalen Sanders moves to the Jaguars, while offensive lineman Luke Fortner goes to the Saints.

The teams tied 17-17 in the Superdome earlier that day. Sanders, a Super Bowl champion, played two seasons with the Saints, where he appeared in 27 games, after which he was traded to the Jaguars through a system change.

Fortner, a 27-year-old lineman, was selected by the Jaguars in the third round of the 2022 draft. He started all games of the regular season in the first two seasons, but last year lost his place in the main squad.

The trade became the second in the NFL that day after the Houston Texans traded receiver John Mechti III to the tight end of the Harrison Bryant from Philadelphia.
