The Jacksonville Jaguars made a sneaky move on roster cutdown day when they traded for quarterback Quinn Ewers from the Miami Dolphins. That move was bound to mean one quarterback was on the move, and it turned out to be a former starter for the Minnesota Vikings.
Jacksonville Jaguars QB Nick Mullens was waived by the team on Sunday, Aug. 30, to make room for the arriving Ewers. NFL Network and ESPN insider Ian Rapoport was the first to report the move.
Mullens could be a target for the Vikings if they make a move regarding J.J. McCarthy.
He would be familiar with Kevin O'Connell and Wes Phillips' system, as he started three games for the Vikings in three seasons with the team. He passed for 1,568 yards and eight touchdowns in a total of 13 games with the team.
