  "account": "The Jacksonville Jaguars made a trade before roster cutdown day, acquiring quarterback Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins. This move is said to involve the exchange of 2028 Day 3 draft picks between the two teams. The addition of Ewers has potential implications for the Jaguars' 53-man roster. Quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence and Quinn Ewers would be the two quarterbacks on the roster. It remains to be seen whether Ewers would serve as the backup or be given a more prominent role, considering his starting experience from last season. The roster for running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, offensive line, defensive line, linebackers, cornerbacks, and safeties has been solidified, with no major changes anticipated. Patrick Mekari, who is expected to miss some time, begins the season on injured reserve, freeing up a roster spot for Chuma Edoga.",
