Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said the team's trades before the deadline demonstrated belief in its prospects for the 2026 season, but did not change the players' task of continuing to win.

Speaking to reporters at his Wednesday news conference, Lawrence said he expected the additions to strengthen a group he believes already has strong chemistry. He described players who enjoy working together and said the roster moves should not distract them from their responsibilities.

Lawrence also pointed to the newcomers' playoff backgrounds as a benefit. He said some of the acquired players had reached or won Super Bowls, bringing experience of important games that could add value to the Jaguars.

While the quality of the players remained a consideration, Lawrence said their experience of winning was an additional advantage. The Jaguars' next game is against the Titans, offering an opportunity to see how the additions fit into the team.
