Ewers' draft capital and early career trajectory have been disappointing. He turned down an $8 million NIL deal to leave Texas for the 2025 NFL draft, fell to the seventh round, and signed a four-year, $4.3 million contract. Now, after just one preseason with Miami, his first NFL team has already moved on from him, raising questions about his ability to develop into a productive NFL starter.

Ewers was traded from the Dolphins to the Jaguars for a 2028 sixth-round pick after Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan determined his performance in training camp and preseason did not meet the required level. Sullivan stated: "This is a performance-based business and it was not getting done at the level it needed to get done at." Ewers now backs up Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville after being the Dolphins' starting QB at the end of last season.

After finishing the season as the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback in place of Tua Tagovailoa, Quinn Ewers was relegated to a backup quarterback battle with Cam Miller and Mark Gronowski under a new regime. With no clear place in the franchise's expansive reset, Ewers was dealt early Saturday to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who cut veteran Nick Mullens and installed Ewers as the No. 2. Getting to work under Liam Coen with a clear buy-in from a playoff contender represents a sizable victory for a player who otherwise figured to get lost in the shuffle for the Dolphins.

Nick Mullens notes that while Ewers is younger by eight years and offers more long-term potential as a backup quarterback, he is not much of an upgrade over Mullens and would not provide meaningful confidence if Trevor Lawrence were injured.

The Dolphins traded Quinn Ewers to the Jaguars on Saturday as part of their quarterback roster moves ahead of setting their initial 53-man roster.

As a rookie in 2025, Ewers appeared in four games for Miami with three starts, accumulating 622 passing yards, three touchdowns, and three interceptions; he went 1-2 in starts and his lone win came in Week 17 against Tampa Bay (14-of-22, 172 yards, two TDs).

Ewers was traded from the Dolphins to the Jaguars after a disappointing preseason performance; he went 1-for-8 in his sole preseason game and attributed it to a groin injury, but Miami is moving in another direction with Malik Willis' backup situation, indicating Ewers has lost the confidence of the organization despite starting three games as a rookie in 2025.

Ewers' 2026 preseason performance was poor, completing just 1 of 8 pass attempts for 27 yards with an interception in his Week 1 appearance against Washington. This prompted multiple Dolphins analysts to publicly note that a cut was a real possibility. A subsequent groin injury sealed his fate in Miami, effectively ending his opportunity there before the trade.

The source characterizes the Jaguars' acquisition of Ewers as a low-risk, low-cost move—a 2028 sixth-round pick—that adds a developmental quarterback with legitimate upside. The source notes that avoiding draft capital in the highly valued 2027 draft was a win for Jaguars GM James Gladstone. Ewers, 23, was a second-team All-SEC quarterback in 2024 and showed decision-making and downfield accuracy in his late-season 2025 starts (1-2 record, 85.5 passer rating, 3 TDs, 3 INTs in three starts), though his 2026 preseason was poor due to context factors including a bad backup offensive line and shallow receiving room in Miami.

Ewers' 2026 preseason was difficult; in Week 1 against Washington he completed just 1 of 8 pass attempts for 27 yards and threw an interception to Quan Martin, prompting multiple Dolphins analysts to publicly note that a cut was a real possibility; a groin injury that followed effectively sealed his fate in Miami and prevented him from appearing in the team's second preseason game.

23-year-old developmental QB acquired by Jacksonville for a 2028 sixth-round pick; showed enough in three late-season 2025 starts (1-2 record, 622 passing yards, 3 TDs, 3 INTs, 85.5 passer rating) to earn real consideration as a low-risk backup option; has three years remaining on his four-year rookie contract worth $4.33 million; the source argues Ewers has more promise in Jacksonville's new offense with better supporting cast (Josh Cameron, CJ Williams, Nate Boerkircher, Tanner Koziol) and Liam Coen's system than he showed in Miami behind a bad offensive line and shallow receiving room.

Ewers was traded by the Dolphins to the Jaguars for a 2028 sixth-round pick after underwhelming play in training camp and preseason. He was expected to assume the second-string quarterback role following Miami's release of Tua Tagovailoa and signing of Malik Willis, but his performance did not warrant roster retention ahead of the 53-man cutdown.

Ewers was traded from Miami to Jacksonville for a 2028 sixth-round pick after a disappointing preseason. The seventh-round 2025 draft pick moved into the starting role late in his rookie season, throwing for 622 yards on 66.3% completion with 3 TDs and 3 INTs across 4 games (3 starts), but his play early in training camp and preseason was underwhelming. He sustained a groin injury during the first preseason game against Washington and was sidelined for about a week, missing the second preseason game and being held out of the preseason finale.

Ewers was a cheap acquisition for Jacksonville, costing only a 2028 sixth-round pick. He is in the second season of a four-year rookie contract with a cap hit of just $1.04 million in 2026 and total contract value of $4.3 million, making him a low-cost depth option.

Ewers was acquired by the Jaguars from Miami in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round pick and will battle Nick Mullens for the backup job behind Trevor Lawrence in Liam Coen's offense. The source projects Ewers third on the Jaguars' QB depth chart behind Lawrence and Mullens, with Carter Bradley and Joey Aguilar likely to be cut as roster casualties.
