Quinn Ewers traded to Jaguars by Dolphins

18 sourcesUpdated Aug 29, 2026

The Dolphins traded quarterback Quinn Ewers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in a late-round pick swap for the 2028 draft, a move reported by NFL Network and ESPN. Ewers, 23, was a seventh-round pick in 2025 and started three games for Miami, completing 66.3% of his passes for 662 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. The trade comes as Miami’s quarterback room is set to feature Malik Willis, with Cam Miller, Mark Gronowski, and possibly another veteran option in contention for the backup job, while Ewers heads to Jacksonville to compete behind Trevor Lawrence. Ewers reportedly did not have a strong training camp and played through a groin strain. On the Jaguars’ side, Ewers is expected to vie for the QB2 role behind Lawrence, with Nick Mullens and other depth options still in the mix. The deal creates a clearer path for Dolphins’ young quarterbacks to clash elsewhere and reshapes both teams’ depth charts going into cut-down weekend.
