23 sourcesUpdated Aug 29, 2026

The Jacksonville Jaguars acquired Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins for a swap of Day 3 picks in the 2028 draft, signaling a shift to upgrade their backup quarterback behind Trevor Lawrence. Ewers started four games for Miami, throwing for 622 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions, up from three starts and 662 yards previously reported. Miami traded Ewers after preseason evaluations to clear depth-chart room behind Malik Willis, with Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski also on the roster options. Jacksonville is expected to pair Ewers with Lawrence, while Nick Mullens, Carter Bradley, and rookies such as Joey Aguilar are considered for the backup role. The deal underscores evolving quarterback plans for both teams, balancing prospect upside with immediate depth needs.
