The Jaguars have released longtime starting QB David Garrard
 
The Jacksonville Jaguars have informed starting quarterback David Garrard they are releasing him, Jay Glazer of NFL Network and Fox Sports reported Tuesday.


The surprising move means Luke McCown will start Sunday's season opener against the Tennessee Titans.

Garrard, 33, has started 58 of 64 games for the Jaguars during the past four seasons, after the Jaguars released Byron Leftwich in similar fashion in 2007. In 2010, Garrard passed for 2,734 yards and 23 touchdowns with 15 interceptions. The touchdowns and interceptions were career highs. He has thrown 89 touchdown passes and 54 interceptions in his career.

Garrard was entering the fourth year of a seven-year, $62.98 million contract that he signed in 2008. He was due $7.975 million this season. That figure was scheduled to grow $500,000 in each of the next two seasons.

McCown, 30, joined the Jaguars in 2009 in a trade after spending four years with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2005 to 2008) and one with the Cleveland Browns (2004). He hasn't started a game since 2007 while with the Bucs, and his career high is four starts as a rookie in Cleveland.

Agreed! Not a great player, but not a bad one!

Same question I asked. I thought for sure Gabbert would be next up.

Del Rio wants to get fired I guess

Hope Miami doesn't pick him up, he'd be an upgrade over Henne

They say Garrard has regressed this preseason, and considering who and what he was that couldn't have been a good sign... Streaky and wildly inconsistent. Mind numbingly bad decisions were his achilles heel, well that and being injury prone.

Del Rio just bet his job on Blaine Gabbert.


Good luck with that, Jack. :bricks:

Here is one reporter from south Florida's opinion on the possibility of the Dolphins adding Garrard:

Would the Miami Dolphins have interest in David Garrard? | Sun-Sentinel

Quote:
The relevant question here is whether the Dolphins would – or even should – have interest in Garrard. Numbers-wise, Garrard has been among the more reliable quarterbacks in the game but he has probably never commanded the kind of respect he deserves.

He has completed at least 60 percent of his passes in every season since 2006 and, for his career, has thrown 84 touchdowns against 54 interceptions. He’s somewhat mobile, too, having run for 17 touchdowns in his career (while also averaging 4.6 yards per fun).

So would the Dolphins be interested? Should they?

I say no to both questions. If Garrard had been on the market at the start of the preseason, that’d be one thing. But at this point, it wouldn’t make a lot of sense to bring him on board. Chad Henne was among the highest-rated quarterbacks during the preseason. In addition to his on-field improvement, Henne by all accounts has become a better leader and has come a long ways inside the locker room, too.

After Henne’s successful preseason, what kind of message would the Dolphins be sending if they made a run at acquiring Garrard? It wouldn’t make a lot of sense. And, of course, there are no indications the Dolphins are even interested. That said, Garrard will land somewhere. His agent will be a busy man in the coming days.

The Jets have Brunell and a beat up McElroy and I believe have talked to O'Connell to return as backups to Sanchez

Garrard is better than any of them...the Jets would be nuts not to take a looksee
