With the Jaguars signing Robert Hainsey in free agency this offseason to be the presumed starting center, along with drafting Jonah Monheim to be the developmental player at the position--and his play has clearly earned him the backup role--that left Fortner as the odd man out.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and the New Orleans Saints made a deal involving the trenches Sunday night, with Jacksonville sending offensive lineman Luke Fortner to the Big Easy for defensive lineman Khalen Saunders, per NFL Network. The swap came hours after the teams tied their preseason game 17-17.
