The Jacksonville Jaguars could afford to trade quarterback Gardner Minshew because they have C.J. Beathard on the roster.
Back in March, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed quarterback C.J. Beathard even though they already had Gardner Minshew on the roster. Looking back, it looks like the team’s brass was preparing to eventually part ways with the 2019 sixth-round pick.
Although head coach Urban Meyer said the team liked Minshew and they didn’t plan to trade him, it made sense to explore a potential deal.
