Former Syracuse football QB Ryan Nassib released by Jacksonville Jaguars

Syracuse, N.Y. -- Less than three weeks after he signed to reunite with his college coaching staff, quarterback Ryan Nassib was released by the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Nassib, one of the great signal-callers in Syracuse football history, appeared to have a chance at reviving his career under Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, who held the same roles at SU during Nassib's record-setting career.

Instead, he returns to the pool of free agents.

Nassib spent his first four NFL seasons serving as a backup to New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
