The Jacksonville Jaguars are believed to be interested in acquiring a new backup quarterback. Currently, the primary reserve to starter David Garrard is career understudy Todd Bouman.
The Jags have made a move to add a new quarterback, but he likely won’t bounce Bouman from his current spot on the depth chart.
The team announced today that quarterback Todd Boeckman has been signed, and that quarterback Paul Smith has been cut.
Boeckman, who played college football at Ohio State, previously was inked by the Jags on June 17, but they cut him on July 31.
Smith joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2008, spending most of the year on the practice squad.
The move keeps the Jaguars at three quarterbacks on the roster -- Garrard, Bouman, and Boeckman.
Coincidentally, Monday is the two-year anniversary of the day on which the Jaguars benched (and shortly thereafter cut) former starter Byron Leftwich and handed the job to Garrard.
