The Denver Broncos completed a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars to acquire cornerback A.J. Bouye on Wednesday. Denver sent a fourth-round draft pick to Jacksonville in exchange for the veteran defensive back.
After the trade became official, Broncos president of football operations/general manager John Elway released a statement on the arrival of the new cornerback.
“We’re excited to be able to announce a trade with Jacksonville for A.J. Bouye,” Elway said. “He’s a great fit in Vic’s system with his instincts, ball skills, toughness and ability to play in a defense that mixes coverages.
“In addition to having the size on the outside to match up against larger receivers, A.J. is an excellent tackler. He’s a complete cornerback who gives us what we need in both pass coverage and against the run.”
Bouye, 28, will be one of the cornerbacks tasked with helping replace Chris Harris, who has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Chargers.
