The Atlanta Falcons have traded defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Maason Smith. Both players were drafted in 2024, with Orhorhoro being the 35th pick and Smith the 48th.
The Falcons likely believe Maason Smith is a better fit for their defensive front compared to Ruke Orhorhoro, who struggled against the run.
Before the trade, Ruke Orhorhoro recorded 3.5 sacks last year but did not fully meet expectations as a second-round pick.
Maason Smith had three sacks as a rookie but none the following year, while Orhorhoro had 3.5 sacks last season, indicating both players have had inconsistent performances.
