Team and league sources said that former starter Byron Leftwich will likely be traded or released.

Leftwich missed 15 games the last two seasons because of an injured left ankle. He had surgery last November, more than a month after coach Jack Del Rio benched him in favor of Garrard.

The Jaguars have been actively calling teams around the league to gauge interest in Leftwich, who is in the last year of his contract. He had been designated as the starter in the offseason by Del Rio.

Team sources said Garrard's continued development in training camp and preseason convinced Del Rio that Garrard was the right quarterback for the team.

The Jaguars are also trying to acquire a veteran quarterback to serve as a backup and may turn to former Jaguars quarterback Mark Brunell.

Garrard went 145-of-241 for 1,735 yards, 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions last season, with a passer rating of 80.5.

Leftwich was 108-of-183 for 1,159 yards, seven TDs and five interceptions last season, with a passer rating of 79.0.

Good move, probably sign in ATL

I've read and heard that it may be Chris Simms going to Atlanta, due to his friendship with Falcons GM Rich McKay. McKay drafted Simms in the third round with Tampa Bay and the Bucs may be looking to get rid of Simms.

Just rumors though.

Chris Sims fucking sucks, you will never win shit with him

Makes Titans decent underdog pick because Garrard ain't shit.

Lefty never could get it going........He is still living off of the game where his O line carried him down field
