Jaguars 'absolutely interested' in Andy Dalton, as backup
The Jacksonville Jaguars are "absolutely interested" in free agent quarterback Andy Dalton, per Jeff Darlington of ESPN.
What It Means:
It seems like this is where things are headed after NFL Network's Steve Wyche reported Thursday that the Jaguars have "legitimate interest" in the veteran signal-caller. Jaguars offensive coordinator Jay Gruden was Dalton's head coach with the Cincinnati Bengals, so there's familiarity here. Darlington believes Gardner Minshew will still start Week 1, which has been echoed by head coach Doug Marrone.
Dalton averaged a career-high 268.8 yards over 13 games last season, but his 59.5 completion percentage was the lowest since his rookie season. He also posted a personal-low in adjusted yards per attempt (6.0). Among the 22 quarterbacks with at least 500 drop backs, Dalton was tied for last with 0.01 Passing Net Expected Points per play. Minshew added 0.06 Passing NEP per play, tied for 24th.
