Falcons S Jessie Bates was acquired by the Jacksonville Jaguars Monday in exchange for a second-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-round pick in 2028, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Why it Matters: Bates is a high-end DB in IDP leagues with 60 tackles, three forced fumbles, one INT and four pass defenses.
