JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback A.J. Bouye is reportedly being traded to the Denver Broncos, ESPN’s NFL Insider Adam Schefter is reporting.
Schefter said the Jaguars would get a 2020 fourth-round pick for the trade.
CB A.J. Bouye has two years remaining on the contract that his agent Fred Lyles and Jaguars negotiated two years ago. Broncos get a CB they believe fits their system, Jags get more draft picks back.

The team is also scheduled to have nine picks in 2021 draft, including six in the first rounds -- double 1s and double 4s.
“I’ve become a stronger player than I ever could have imagined because I’ve had my teammates pushing me to be great. At the end of the day we all know that this is a business,” Bouye said in a statement on Twitter.
