The Jacksonville Jaguars have made a move that seems rather questionable. The Jaguars have made a move to trade for Quinn Ewers, a Dolphins quarterback, who is likely to be the backup for the Jaguars. This leaves former Tennessee football quarterback Joey Aguilar<\/a> in a situation in which he may not make the Jaguars roster, although the team can have a third quarterback on the sidelines, and he can’t play unless both quarterbacks ahead of him get hurt.<\/p>\n

The move was made when the Jaguars and the Dolphins switched a day three draft selection in the NFL Draft in 2028. This is a terrible break for Aguilar<\/a>, who has been excellent in his first NFL Preseason. In fact, he finished with 16 completed passes in just 19 attempts. This is excellent work for the Tennessee Vols alumnus<\/a>. He also finished with a touchdown in the second preseason game, but he didn’t have a single touchdown in game one or game three.<\/p>\n

In total he finished with 187 passing yards. The major question now is “What’s next for Joey Aguilar?”<\/p>\n

What’s Next for Joey Aguilar?\"Joey<\/p>\n

As for what’s next, the former Tennessee football quarterback will likely be a practice-squad player, and he will likely be targeted as a backup by other teams. While he remains young in the NFL, his production should be a great sign of hope that a team doesn’t want to pass on.<\/p>\n

His spot with the Jaguars has yet to be cut, but it remains likely that this could happen sooner rather than later when it comes to the official 53-man roster.<\/p>\n

There’s still a chance that he will be a backup for the Jaguars, but it remains unlikely, especially if the Jaguars felt the need to go get a quarterback through a trade to be the backup to current starter Trevor Lawrence.<\/p>\n

Regardless, Aguilar should be proud of his efforts thus far in Jacksonville, even if the Jaguars have made a questionable decision.<\/p>\n
