Trade destination for Jaguars OT Walker Little: Seattle Seahawks

One team that could benefit from Walker Little's versatility is the Seattle Seahawks. Right now, Charles Cross is the incumbent at left tackle. He's made strides since the Hawks made him the ninth overall selection in the 2022 Draft. He should keep improving next season but Little would provide insurance in case he gets hurt.

Having said that, Seattle may need Little more at right tackle. Abraham Lucas regressed in 2022 after flashing the year before. Compounding the issue is that he's dealing with a knee injury that could force him to miss time. To protect themselves, they signed a familiar face in George Fant. However, Little is a much better player.

One thing that could incentivize the Seattle or any other club to trade for Little is that he hasn't had any major injuries in the NFL. Granted, he tore his ACL in 2019 but that was nearly five years ago. Other than than, he's had mostly a clean bill of health in Jacksonville.

Trade destination for Jaguars OT Walker Little: New England Patriots

While the Seahawks and Las Vegas could use Little at right tackle, he would be an enticing option at left tackle for the New England Patriots. Trent Brown walked in free agency, and they haven't properly filled the void he left.

Maybe the Pats could move rookie Caedan Wallace to left tackle, but it's hard to tell if he'll be able to make the transition after mostly lining up on the right side at Penn State. Little could come in and start right out of the gate. An added benefit of trading for him is that Wallace could learn behind him.

New England may first want to see how the former Nittany Lion fares in training camp, but if he struggles, they shouldn't hesitate to get in touch with the Jaguars.
