Jaguars trade for Dolphins QB Quinn Ewers

The Jacksonville Jaguars have agreed to trade for Miami Dolphins quarterback Quinn Ewers, sending a 2028 Day 3 draft pick to Miami in exchange for the second-year signal-caller. The deal, reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo on Saturday, August 29, 2026, adds a young arm to Jacksonville's quarterback room behind starter Trevor Lawrence. Ewers, a seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, spent most of his rookie season on Miami's depth chart. His opportunity came in Week 16 of the 2025 season when then-head coach Mike McDaniel benched starter Tua Tagovailoa, who had led the league in interceptions for much of the year. Ewers started the final three games of the season, completing roughly 67% of his passes for 567 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. The trade follows a significant offseason overhaul in Miami, which included the hiring of head coach Jeff Hafley and general manager JonEric Sullivan. The new regime added quarterback Malik Willis, and Ewers struggled to secure the backup role during training camp.
