NFL Rumors: Jaguars Pass Rusher Drawing Trade Interest

Despite a solid start to the 2022 NFL season, the Jacksonville Jaguars have fallen off in recent times, and with improvements from Tennessee and Indianapolis, they are now back in third place in the AFC South, and by the looks of it, they will certainly be sellers at the upcoming trade deadline. The team have already moved talented running back James Robinson to the New York Jets, and now, another talented young Jaguar is drawing massive interest ahead of the deadline, this time in the form of former No. 7 overall pick, Josh Allen.

Through three and a half seasons, Allen has record 23.5 sacks, and while he's certainly been overshadowed by other young players like Quinnen Williams, Bradley Chubb and Micah Parsons, he has been a very effective players for the Jaguars. With so many teams in playoff contention, there is a huge market for his services, and if Jacksonville want a solid draft pick to continue their rebuild, this would be a player that could help them get that done. 

The Jags have made their intentions clear when they moved Robinson, and with their struggles in recent times, they'll be sellers in the coming week, and Allen is right at the top of the list for players that will net them a solid return.
