The Jacksonville Jaguars have acquired quarterback Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins ahead of roster cutdown day, as reported on August 29, 2026. The trade involves a swap of 2028 Day 3 draft picks. The decision comes after uneven performances from the Jaguars' backup quarterbacks in preseason, and Ewers could serve as a developmental option behind starter Trevor Lawrence. He completed 66% of his passes for 622 yards with three touchdowns last season. The Jaguars may choose to place Ewers as a backup to Nick Mullens or develop him further as a long-term option.
