Jaguars' James Gladstone pulls the plug on failed trade to bolster D-Line

Throughout his stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, James Gladstone has shown a willingness to make trades to address the roster. That's why nobody batted an eye when he traded center Luke Fortner to the New Orleans Saints in return for defensive tackle Khalen Saunders Sr. in the preseason.

At the time, the move made sense because the Jags needed help in the interior trenches. However, Saunders was never able to hit his stride in Jacksonville, and Gladstone has decided to pull the plug on him.

The Jaguars are releasing Khalen Saunders Sr.
