What do we think about the Jacksonville Jaguars trading Trevis Gipson to the Seattle Seahawks?
The Jacksonville Jaguars shook up their edge depth on Monday, reportedly trading edge rusher Trevis Gipson to the Seattle Seahawks for an undisclosed late round pick.
Considering Gipson had looked to be the favorite to be the No. 3 edge rusher , the move came as a surprise to many. But after digesting the move, what do we make of the deal? We break it down below.This in no way feels like a trade the Jaguars made as a result of Gipson underperforming. Gipson had a solid training camp and preseason and the coaching staff frequently talked him up. This instead feels like two young edge rushers in D.J.
On paper, this looks like the Jaguars think Gipson was relatively close to Coleman and Cole. Gipson has more trade value as a veteran who has produced in the regular season, so if you get an offer for him, why not take advantage?Aside from the young guys on the depth chart, the Jaguars do have some internal options to step up as depth behind Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. This doesn't mean the edge depth shouldn't still be a concern, because it still is.
Defensive tackle Arik Armstead could be the Jaguars' No. 3 edge defender after spending snaps on the outside in San Francisco. Yasir Abdullah and Chad Muma will likely both get some pass-rush reps as the SAM linebackers in specific situations as well. It isn't ideal depth, but Gipson isn't a loss they weren't already built to work around.
With that said, it would still be surprising if the Jaguars were the ones shopping Gipson. It makes more sense that the team was instead trying to make a decision with him to be on or off the roster and a pass-rusher needy team like the Seahawks, who just traded a pass-rusher for a sixth-round pick, instead called them first.John Shipley has been covering the Jacksonville Jaguars as a beat reporter and publisher of Jaguar Report since 2019.
