Dolphins executive says Ewers trade followed preseason performance

Jacksonville sent a 2028 sixth-round pick

Wire Report IntelligenceUpdated Sep 21 min read

What happened: Jon-Eric Sullivan said Miami’s decision came after training camp and preseason evaluations. Ewers was dealt to Jacksonville and will join a quarterback room led by Trevor Lawrence.

Why it matters: The move ends Ewers’ short tenure with Miami after he opened last season as its starting quarterback. It gives Jacksonville a low-cost developmental option behind Lawrence.

By the numbers: Ewers reportedly declined an $8 million NIL offer before entering the 2025 NFL draft, then signed a four-year, $4.3 million contract after being selected in the seventh round.

What to watch: Ewers’ place on Jacksonville’s depth chart will come into focus as the 2026 season approaches.
