Dolphins Trade QB Quinn Ewers to Jacksonville, per Report
Jacksonville adds a 22-year-old backup option after Ewers made four rookie appearances for Miami, with the teams swapping 2028 late-round draft picks.
On Saturday, the Jacksonville Jaguars acquired quarterback Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins, as reported by NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo, providing depth behind Trevor Lawrence.
Miami Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley moved to trade Ewers as the team works to cut its roster to 53 players by Sunday's deadline, noting he did not believe the quarterback was ready for live action.
The 22-year-old quarterback, selected in the 2025 NFL Draft after playing at Texas and Ohio State, is entering the second season of a four-year contract worth $4.33 million and completed 55 of 83 passes for 622 yards as a rookie.
In exchange for Ewers, the Dolphins received a 2028 Day 3 draft pick swap, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, while Jacksonville gains a backup with starting experience as Miami finalizes quarterback depth behind Malik Willis.
This move continues significant roster changes under Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley and general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan, as the organization has prioritized younger players and reduced expensive veteran contracts to develop team depth.
