CBS Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- The Miami Dolphins traded quarterback Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft pick, moving on from another QB after previously parting ways with longtime starter Tua Tagovailoa.
- Ewers, a late seventh-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, started three games for Miami last season with mixed results, completing 66.7% of his passes for 569 yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions.
- Miami's new regime, including GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, has shifted focus to veteran Malik Willis as the starting quarterback, with Ewers no longer fitting into their long-term plans.
- The Jaguars, led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, acquired Ewers to compete for a backup role behind Lawrence, alongside Nick Mullens, Carter Bradley, and Joey Aguilar.
- Analysts graded the trade as a C for Miami, valuing the draft capital gained, and a C+ for Jacksonville, viewing Ewers as a known asset who could benefit from development in their offense.
