The Jacksonville Jaguars have released quarterback Nick Mullens as part of their final roster cuts before the NFL's deadline. Mullens, 31, previously played for the San Francisco 49ers, where he set a record for the most passing yards in his first 16 starts. Over his four NFL seasons, he has recorded 6,448 passing yards with 34 touchdowns and 31 interceptions. Mullens' tenure with the Jaguars lasted one season, and he is expected to draw interest as a backup option for other teams in need of a quarterback.
