The New York Giants are trading guard Daniel Faalele to the Jacksonville Jaguars, a source confirmed to Big Blue View on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

Faalele started at right guard for the Baltimore Ravens the past two seasons. Giants coach John Harbaugh was, of course, Baltimore\u2019s coach at the time.<\/p>\n

The Giants signed Faalele to a one-year contract before the 2026 NFL Draft, during which they selected Francis \u2018Sisi\u2019 Mauigoa to play right guard.<\/p>\n

Faalele had been working as a backup at both left and right guard throughout the spring and summer. The expectation had been that Faalele would be the team\u2019s swing guard. Per Pro Football Focus, Faalele posted a 0.0 pass blocking grade in Saturday\u2019s preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings, and a 40.2 overall score in 13 snaps.<\/p>\n

Faalele, 6-foot-8, 370 pounds, was a third-round selection by the Ravens in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was a backup tackle for two seasons before moving to guard.<\/p>\n

During Tuesday\u2019s practice, the second-team guards were veteran Aaron Stinnie and 2022 third-round pick Josh Ezeudu. The presence of Ezeudu at guard, where he has played more often as the summer has unfolded, is perhaps significant in terms of the ultimate 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

Former undrafted free agent Jake Kubas could also be a consideration. He played well in 29 snaps at center and guard on Saturday, compiling a 79.8 grade. Evan Neal continued working with the third team on Tuesday. Whether he figures into the competition for a roster spot remains debatable.<\/p>\n
