The Jacksonville Jaguars continue to stay faithful with Trevor Lawrence as their franchise quarterback. But Quinn Ewers in now on board. Thanks to a huge deal way ahead of the NFL Trade Deadline with the Miami Dolphins. NFL insider for Fox Sports Jordan Schultz reported the move on Saturday afternoon. This move also comes with roster cutoff day set for Sunday at 4 p.m. ET. Now it looks like the Jaguars will carry two past college football stars behind center. Although Ewers established himself in the SEC while with Texas compared to Lawrence's famed Clemson run. Yet still, this is the first major trade after NFL Preseason action. Plus addresses rare needed depth in the quarterback room for the AFC South franchise. The Jags rolled with Carter Bradley for most of the contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to close out the preseason. Bradley finished with 8-of-15 passing for 77 yards and tossed one touchdown, but also took one sack. Joey Aguilar looked near accurate when he got the call from head coach Liam Coen, ending with 7-of-9 passing for 57 yards. But the past Tennessee Volunteers star took two sacks in the victory. Nick Mullens rose as one more Jacksonville QB who threw limited incompletions, going 5-of-7 for 62 yards while taking one sack. So now this raises the question of which of those three stay amid the Ewers trade. Jacksonville clearly turned to this game to see who can become the third behind Lawrence and now Ewers. Though one or two can stay on board if they clear waivers after Aug. 30.
