So, Jax gets a practice squad QB and Miami gets a 6th round pick. I still don't understand why Jax would want to do that. Miami I get, but not Jax.

They were apparently in the market for a QB, they're apparently going to cut one of their guys and were probably looking for value. A 6th round pick is nothing for a backup or 3rd string QB.

Makes sense.

I saw someone say they'll likely cut Ewers and then bring him back on their practice squad but I have no idea if that is true or not.

Someone said Jville will cut QE and bring him back?  That's highly unlikely.  They wouldn't have traded for him if they were planning to do that b/c there's no guarantee they could keep him if they cut him. He could sign with someone else and they'd be out the pick.

If the cut/resign to practice squad was said about Miami before the trade, I could buy that.

Doesn't make any sense to cut Ewers if they traded for him. If Miami cut him, they could have simply claimed him off waivers without the trade.

Thank you.  I am very un-hip.

That was my point in my response.  Jville would not cut Ewers after trading for him.

In response to your last sentence, perhaps Jville wasn't confident that Miami would waive QE or they knew it was going to happen but weren't confident that their claim of QE would win. When multiple teams make waiver claims, priority goes to the team with the lower W-L record from last year.

Jville was 13-4 in 2025.  They are 24th in the selection order off waivers (the same order as the 2026 draft -- if they had not traded away their 2026 first round pick, they would have selected 24th).  So Jville may have made the trade to avoid the uncertainty of winning a waiver claim and to ensure they got QE.

I don't disagree, just passing a long what I read from someone else.
