Trade Deadline Uneventful

The 2022 trade deadline has passed and not a single move was made. The Jacksonville Jaguars were holding a fire sale hoping to gain additional draft assets. Players such as Taven Bryan, Jalen Twyman, Jalen Virgil, Sidney Jones IV, and Quincy Williams were inquired about.
Trade talks never really made it past the "inquiry" stage. With it being season 3 in the SFL, many teams have built what they like and realize this could be the last draft with significant value. Jaguars head coach and GM, Cash Conklin was asked why he put players that have played a significant part in helping them to a 7-1 record on the block? "Depth". A simple response implying the depth he feels he has at those positions.
Twyman in particular has helped the Jaguars start the first half of the season as the #1 rush defense in the league. He might not splash in "individual stats" but his presence is felt in the run defense. While Virgil doesn't see much time on the field after a 1k yard rookie season, he is basically a walking touchdown when he does see the field as both his catches have gone for 6. "Speed is the most valuable asset in this league, and I'm happy to stay put in this offense" Virgil was caught saying before the week 9 showdown with division rival Texans.
Coach feels his team is firing on all cylinders and expects to be a tough out for any opponent the rest of the season. "You can't win them all, however, I am just here to compete" the final words from Coach as he left the podium.
