So I need to add 4 more screw jacks under the joists as well? I didn't pour footings for the jacks but they are sitting on concrete blocks. They have some dirt on them so you can't see them unless you look closely.

Thanks for the advice. I added two 4x4 beams under the joists for extra support, and added two sisters, although there was no way to fit a 16' span under there, so I had to split the sisters in two. My original joists are also a weird size (literally 2"x8") so I couldn't perfectly match them...

I am replacing a subfloor in my house. The joists are 24" on center with a 16' span, and a little bigger than 2x8 (their dimensions are exactly 2"x8"). I'm putting in slate and a clawfoot tub, so since the joists are so far apart, I'd like to add more support. I cannot maneuver a 17' long...
