The Atlanta Falcons reportedly traded safety Jessie Bates III to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Nov. 9, a deal that would bring Atlanta two future draft picks.

The reported deal would bring Atlanta a second-round pick in 2027 and a fifth-round pick in 2028. Bates also indicated on X on Monday that he was joining Jacksonville.

Bates had started all nine of the Falcons’ games this season. He recorded 60 tackles, one interception and a fumble-return touchdown.
