Two-time Super Bowl champion Khalen Saunders has been traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars by the New Orleans Saints.
Saunders won two Lombardi Trophies during his time with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2019 to 2022.
The 29-year-old defensive tackle left Arrowhead Stadium for the Saints in 2023 and has been a key piece of their defense in recent seasons.
However, he will now link up with Liam Coen and the Jaguars ahead of the new NFL campaign.
Ironically, Saunders made his final appearance for the Saints in a preseason game against the Jaguars on Sunday.
Saunders is the brother of one of Taylor Swift’s backup dancers, Kameron Saunders, who was prominently featured on her record-breaking ‘Eras Tour.’

He is expected to be the top reserve option for the Jaguars’ starting defensive tackle Arik Armstead.
In exchange for Saunders, the Jaguars are sending center Luke Fortner to New Orleans.
Saunders is poised to enter his seventh season in the NFL. He managed 43 total tackles last year, which included two sacks.
The highlight of his season, however, was an interception against the Chiefs.
Saunders denied Travis Kelce a touchdown when he picked off Patrick Mahomes’ pass in the end zone before returning the ball nearly 40 yards.
