The Jaguars traded quarterback Gardner Minshew to the Eagles for a conditional sixth-round draft pick in 2022, the team announced on Saturday.
Minshew, 25, will get a fresh start with Philadelphia. The Eagles are known to have three quarterbacks. Minshew will join Joe Flacco as a backup quarterback to Jalen Hurts. This move by Jacksonville comes a few days after Trevor Lawrence was named as the team's starting quarterback heading into the regular season.
The Eagles released quarterback Nick Mullens to make room for Minshew, according to the team. With the Jaguars' trade, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the sixth-round draft pick for Jacksonville can become a fifth rounder if Minshew plays 50% in three games.
