Reports: Jaguars acquiring G Daniel Faalele from Giants

By Thomson Reuters Aug 19, 2026 | 10:48 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars are acquiring guard Daniel Faalele from ​the New York ‌Giants in exchange for a late-round pick in the 2027 NFL Draft, ‌multiple ​media outlets ⁠reported Wednesday.

The reported ⁠trade comes on the heels of Jaguars guard Patrick Mekari’s recent ​back surgery.

Faalele, 26, started every game ⁠at guard ⁠for the Baltimore ​Ravens the last two ​seasons and joined the ‌Giants as a free agent in April. The 6-foot-8, 370-pound ⁠Australian has made 66 career appearances (35 starts) since joining ⁠the ‌Ravens as a ⁠fourth-round draft pick ​in ‌2022.

The Giants have ​veteran ⁠Jon Runyan and 2026 first-round pick Francis Mauigoa as starting guards, making Faalele expendable.
