Report: Jaguars agree to trade A.J. Bouye to Broncos for 4th-round pick
The Jacksonville Jaguars and Denver Broncos agreed to a trade that would send Jags cornerback A.J. Bouye to the Mile High City for a 2020 fourth-round draft pick, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Trades won't be processed until March 18, the start of the new league year.
Bouye spent the past three seasons in Jacksonville, where he produced a Pro Bowl campaign in 2017. He has two years remaining on a contract that would pay him $13 million in base salary annually.
The Broncos are set to lose veteran corner Chris Harris in free agency. Harris has spent his entire nine-year career in Denver and reached the Pro Bowl each year from 2014-16 and again in 2018.
"I'm definitely excited because Chris Harris always had good things to say about Denver," Bouye told ESPN's Josina Anderson over the phone. "I'm about to watch film and look at their scheme some more and really study it. It's cornerback-friendly. The three times I played there, the atmosphere and fan base was amazing."
With Bouye gone, no members of the Jacksonville secondary that helped the team reach the 2018 AFC Championship Game remain on the roster.
Meanwhile, the newly acquired fourth-round pick gives the Jaguars 11 total selections in April's draft.
