  "account": "Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers (14) was traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars ahead of the NFL cut-down day on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025. The move came after Ewers, drafted in the seventh-round last year, spent most of the 2024 season as the third-string quarterback for Miami. The Jacksonville Jaguars, located about 350 miles north of Miami, acquired Ewers in exchange for a sixth-round pick. Ewers will now serve as the backup to Trevor Lawrence, the Jaguars' franchise quarterback. Ewers appeared in four games last season, making three starts, completing 66.3% of his pass attempts for 622 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions. Despite being considered a potential backup option for Miami due to Tua Tagovailoa's departure, Ewers only threw eight passes in the preseason. In Jacksonville, Ewers will be the only backup to Lawrence, with Kyle McCord and Brady Cook also set to hold backup roles.",
