What happened: Jacksonville sent a 2028 sixth-rounder to Miami for Quinn Ewers, pending a physical. The Jaguars are releasing Nick Mullens after most surveyed fans opposed keeping him as the backup.
Why it matters: The moves put a second-year quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence while ending the veteran option. Jacksonville is trading experience for a longer developmental runway at the position.
By the numbers: Ewers went 1-of-8 for 27 yards with an interception in Miami’s 2026 preseason opener.
What to watch: Ewers’ physical is the next checkpoint before Jacksonville settles its quarterback room for the upcoming season.
