Ojomo was a seventh-round pick by the Eagles in 2023 and put together an impressive 2025 season, which included generating 54 QB pressures. He has the versatility to line up in multiple gaps along the defensive front.

But for whatever the reason might be, that trade never materialized. So instead, the Jaguars pivoted to Godchaux, who will fill the run-stuffing, nose tackle role

that has since become vacant with DaVon Hamilton out for the season.

Also at defensive tackle the Jaguars have Arik Armstead, Albert Regis, Ruke Orhorhoro, and Matt Dickerson.
