Last week the Jaguars acquired 28-year old QB Luke McCown from the Bucs for a undisclosed draft pick.  McCown will be David Garrard’s backup after the Jags released Todd Bouman shortly after acquiring McCown.  McCown played in 2 games for the Bucs last season and he only threw one pass (incomplete) and carried the ball 3 times for 15 yards.  McCown has now played in 12 games in his NFL career in which he has completed 142 of 238 passes (59.7%) for 1,617 yards with 9 TD passes and 10 interceptions (75.2 QB Rating).  He also has carried the ball 21 times for 157 yards (7.5 ypc) in his career.  This was a good trade for the Jaguars as McCown will do a good job if needed.

The Jaguars have signed 24-year old DT Tony McDaniel to the Dolphins for a 7th round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.  McDaniel played in 10 games for the Jaguars last season and he made 16 tackles, defensed 2 passes and had 1/2 a sack.  McDaniel played 3 seasons for the Jaguars covering 25 games in which he made 37 tackles, defensed 4 passes and he had 1.5 sacks.  McDaniel doesn’t have much of an upside so it was a good move to get a 7th round pick for him.

The Jaguars have traded Marcus Stroud to the Buffalo Bills for a 3rd and 5th round pick in next month’s NFL Draft.  Stroud only played in 9 games last season for the Jaguars due to injuries and he made 22 tackles, defensed 2 passes and had 3 sacks.  Stroud finished his career with the Jaguars having played in 100 games in which he made 278 tackles, defensed 23 passes, sacked the QB 22 times and he forced 6 fumbles.  If the Jaguars are correct in their thinking that Stroud is on the downside of his career this will be a good trade.
