Ian Rapoport reporting sources say Landry Jones being cut

[phillyesq]

Landry Jones knew the system well, and that was a large part of his value to the Steelers. I'm not shocked that they weren't able to trade him, but I would be pretty surprised if he doesn't sign elsewhere. If the Steelers needed somebody to start one game, I'd still prefer that it be Landry over Dobbs or Rudolph, at least right now.

I am glad the team kept Dobbs. He dramatically improved from last year, and I can see him developing into a long term backup here.

Mondo Cohoans by the FO. It would have been so much "easier" to go with Landry and justify it by saying something like, "we need a proven commodity behind Ben" blah blah blah.

The Browns would be wise to sign Landry Jones this week.

We travel to Jacksonville in 3 weeks to play the Jags. Based on Blake Bortles' performances during their current 4 game losing streak, Landry could be their starting QB on SNF on 11/18/18.

Jaguars will add Landry Jones

Posted by Mike Florio on October 31, 2018, 10:28 AM EDT

The Jaguars continue to have problems when it comes to the quarterback position. They’ll be addressing them by adding a new one.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, former Steelers backup Landry Jones is expected to be added to the depth chart in Jacksonville. As the backup to Ben Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh, Jones started five games, completing 63.9 percent of his passes, averaging 7.8 yards per attempt, and generating a passer rating of 86.2.

Per Schefter, the Jaguars have concerns about the health of starter Blake Bortles. They also have concerns about his abilities; the former first-rounder was benched during a Week Seven loss to the Texans for Cody Kessler.

For now, Bortles is expected to play when the Jaguars emerge from their bye week, next Sunday against the Colts.

The move to add Jones comes after the expiration of the trading period. Dan Patrick said during the Wednesday installment of his show that the Jaguars had made exploratory calls before the deadline to the Browns and the Eagles about potentially available quarterbacks. The Browns have Tyrod Taylor and Drew Stanton behind Baker Mayfield; the Eagles have Nick Foles and Nate Sudfeld behind Carson Wentz.

Meanwhile, Colin Kaepernick continues to be available. Last year, Jaguars executive Tom Coughlin declared that he’s not interested in Kaepernick, and Coughlin refused to explain why.

That’s OK, Tom. Everyone knows why.

I'm happy for Jones. He seemed to be good enough to be on a roster (just like Dobbs would have been if he were cut).

I agree - I have always thought that Jones was a very capable #2 QB. He doesn't have quite enough ability to be a franchise guy and lead a team for multiple seasons, but he's good enough to come in and keep things going for a good team if their #1 guy goes down, or to provide some consistency from the QB position while a rebuilding team is still putting other pieces in place.

Hey tiproast!

HOW DARE YOU!!!!

Insightful commentary about a former Steeler player from a fan of another team?

We can't allow a Pat Patriot avatar...BAN HIM NOW!!!

*Just thought I'd get that out of the way with a pre-emptive strike before your "fans" air their inevitable grievances*

I try to get as much mileage as I can out of my posts on this board. I am up to almost 500 over the course of the last eight years. That's a little more than one per week - an outrageous level, I know, but that's how I roll.

[Starlifter]

i thought it was funny sportswriters have speculated signing landry would give them an advantage when they play the steelers later this year. I'd say after the two pastings they gave us last year - they have a pretty good idea how we roll......

[flippy]

Adding new info to old post topics confuses me at times. Guess it goes with getting old

I wish Landry luck, but not in Jax. I hate Jax and feel like they have our number. And I don't want to see them turn things around, make the playoffs, and end up facing us again. It's a matchup I like less than going against NE or KC.
