Report: Del Rio To Cut Or Trade QB Leftwich
One Jacksonville sports-radio host and ESPN are reporting that he will either cut or trade Byron Leftwich and name David Garrard as his starting quarterback.
Speculation has swirled about Byron Leftwich since he went down in the sixth game last season and underwent ankle surgery.

Del Rio announced early in the year that Leftwich was healthy and stood behind him as his starter.
"Byron's the No. 1 guy. That's the direction we're going," Del Rio said in February.
While he is healthy, he has not played as well as Garrard in the preseason. Garrard has also generated a lot of fan support.
Leftwich told a newspaper reporter earlier this year that he thinks the Jaguars should focus on winning and not on who's going to play quarterback.
"No matter how we feel in house, it leaves just the door open for those type of conversations," he told the Houston Chronicle.
