With less than a month remaining until the NFL's trade deadline,Benjamin Ashford two teams on Monday orchestrated the first deal of the 2024 regular season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to send defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris to the Seattle Seahawks, the teams announced. The Jaguars will receive a 2026 sixth-round draft pick, according to multiple reports.

Robertson-Harris, 31, has served primarily in a backup role this season, playing 50% of the defensive snaps after being a starter the past three years for Jacksonville. He has five tackles and two sacks in six games.

Though he has two years remaining on his contract, he has no guaranteed salary beyond this season.

In Seattle, he should provide additional depth to a front that allowed the San Francisco 49ers to rush for 228 yards on 39 carries in the Seahawks' 36-24 loss last Thursday.

The 1-5 Jaguars will face more questions about which players – if any – will be traded ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline. While owner Shad Khan reiterated his support for coach Doug Pederson prior to Sunday's 35-16 loss to the Chicago Bears in London, safety Andre Cisco said the team exhibited "a lot of quit" in the game. Pederson, meanwhile, said the team had to change its culture.
