Jaguars signed QB Jordan Palmer, formerly of the Bengals.

Palmer — Carson’s brother — was invited to the Jaguars’ rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, but showed enough to earn a contract. A 2007 sixth-round pick, Palmer has attempted only 15 career passes, 12 of which came in 2008. He’ll compete for the Jaguars’ third-string job.

Chad Henne

FA Quarterback #4

Coach Mike Mularkey confirmed that Chad Henne remains his backup quarterback.

Through two preseason games, Henne is 8-of-18 for 64 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He’s had a poor training camp overall, but he’s not going to lose the gig to Jordan Palmer. He’s also not going to put any pressure on Blaine Gabbert so long as Gabbert continues to play efficient football.

Jaguars signed QB Nate Enderle.

Enderle was handpicked by Mike Martz as the Bears’ fifth-rounder in 2011. He ended up falling behind Caleb Hanie and then Josh McCown before getting waived last week. In Jacksonville, Enderle will battle Jordan Palmer for the No. 3 gig behind Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne. The Jags have already hinted that they’ll probably stash their third quarterback on the practice squad.

Bears signed QB Jordan Palmer, formerly of the Jaguars.

29-year-old Jordan is the younger brother of Carson Palmer. A 2007 sixth-round pick out of UTEP, Palmer has plenty of arm strength but has always thrown with extremely erratic accuracy. He’ll be a camp arm until September cuts.

Free agent QB Jordan Palmer is the quarterback coach at EXOS, a pre-draft training center, and has been working with UCF’s Blake Bortles and others six days a week.

Bortles is the most notable name, but also in attendance are Wyoming’s Brett Smith and Washington’s Keith Price. Palmer has also worked with San Jose State’s David Fales. Palmer, who was with the Bears the final two months of last season, designed a playbook and is putting in six-hour days with the prospects. It sounds like the soon-to-be 30-year-old may have a future in coaching.

Bears GM Phil Emery said he was comfortable with QB Jordan Palmer as Jay Cutler’s backup but would seriously look at adding a quarterback in the draft.

Palmer spent all of last season in quarterback whisperer Marc Trestman’s system, but the Bears could afford to improve. They have already brought in several veteran quarterbacks for workouts this offseason and are likely to bring in more. A late-round pick on a developmental quarterback could also make sense.
