ORLANDO -- The Jacksonville Jaguars finally found someone to be a backup behind starting quarterback Blake Bortles.
The team traded for Cody Kessler on Wednesday, sending a 2019 conditional seventh-round draft pick to the Cleveland Browns for the third-year veteran.
"We are excited about the opportunity to add Cody as depth to our quarterback position," Jaguars GM Dave Caldwell said. "From our research and through getting to know Cody during the draft process, we know he is a smart, tough and competitive young man and we expect him to be a great addition to our quarterback and offensive meeting rooms.
