Jaguars swing trade with Dolphins to acquire new backup QB
The Jaguars are adding to their quarterback room behind Trevor Lawrence. They acquired Quinn Ewers from the Dolphins in a Saturday trade.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have completed a trade with the Miami Dolphins to acquire young quarterback Quinn Ewers before the NFL's 53-man roster deadline. In exchange, the Jaguars will swap a Day 3 2028 NFL Draft pick with the Dolphins. Ewers, who was selected in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, made three starts during his rookie season and finished with a 1-2 record.
He completed 66.3% of his passes for 622 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Initially, Ewers was expected to start at backup for the Dolphins in 2026, but Miami will instead rely on either Cam Miller, undrafted rookie Mark Gronowski, or a free-agent addition for that role. Meanwhile, Ewers will compete with Nick Mullens for the backup position behind Trevor Lawrence in the Jaguars' offense. This story will be updated with additional information as it becomes available.
