Jaguars Claim QB Trent Edwards Off Waivers

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have claimed quarterback Trent Edwards off waivers from the Buffalo Bills.

A 2007 third-round pick (92nd overall) out of Stanford, Edwards (6-4, 231) has started 32 of his 34 NFL games, completing 60.9% of his 878 pass attempts for 5,739 yards, with 25 touchdowns and 27 interceptions for a career passer rating of 76.8.

In two games for the Bills this season, Edwards completed 29-of-52 pass attempts for 241 yards with a touchdown and pair interceptions for a 58.3 passer rating.

By claiming Edwards, the Jaguars are on the hook for the remainder of Edwards' $1.65 million base salary, which amounts to $1.358 million for the balance of the season. The Jaguars will also need to make a corresponding roster move to add Edwards to the 53-man roster.
