Dobbs was waived by the Jaguars on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Both Dobbs and Mike Glennon were surprisingly jettisoned, leaving just unproven rookie Jake Luton as the only backup behind Gardner Minshew. It's especially shocking considering the Jaguars sent a 2020 fifth-round pick to the Steelers last year in an effort to lock in a secure backup behind then-starter Nick Foles. Both Dobbs and Glennon should receive plenty of interest on the open market, but it seems likely at least one could return back to Jacksonville after a frantic NFL pickup period.

Tagovailoa is set to serve as Miami's No. 2 quarterback following the decision to cut Josh Rosen, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Coach Brian Flores said earlier this week that Tagovailoa's health has been a factor in determining Miami's backup position, but he noted Saturday that "from a health standpoint" he feels good about the 22-year-old's readiness. The move to cut Rosen, who started three games for the Dolphins in 2019, reinforces that optimism, though Flores also left the door open about potentially adding another quarterback off waivers. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start Sept. 13's season opener against the Patriots, but Tagovailoa is likely to see action at some point as a rookie as long as he can dissuade any worries about his recovery from November hip surgery.

Allen was cut by the Bengals on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The Bengals also jettisoned Jacob Dolegala, leaving just Ryan Finley as the sole backup, though Pelissero hinted the team could make a move for one of the top backup QBs on the market thanks to its No. 1 waiver-wire claim. Considering Allen did register three starts last season it's almost guaranteed he'll at minimum make it on a team's practice squad, but it's unclear as to where he'll fall at the moment.

Siemian was released by the Titans on Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Siemian had only been with the Titans for a little over two weeks so it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to see him hit the road. Logan Woodside is now penciled in as the backup to Ryan Tannehill while Siemian figures to at least have some sort of market down the road, even if he's not necessarily with a team to begin the 2020 campaign.

Watson is slated to sign a four-year, $160 million extension with the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Watson is in line to earn $111M in guarantees, setting the stage for him to remain with the Texans through 2025. With DeAndre Hopkins no longer in the mix, the team's franchise QB will look to reconnect with returnee Will Fuller this season, while building his rapport with newcomers in the pass-catching game such as Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb and running back David Johnson.

The Buccaneers waived Sinnett on Friday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Tampa Bay intended to develop Sinnett when they signed him, giving him $152,000 in guaranteed money, and it looks like they'll follow through if he clears waivers. Sinnett started only one year in college but was quite impressive, throwing for 3,528 yards, 32 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He'll look to pick up a few tips from Tom Brady.

Trubisky is expected to be the Bears' starting quarterback Week 1 against the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Schefter's sources cited that Trubisky's "progression, leadership and overall performance" earned him the job, although Nick Foles made it a close battle. This was the likely outcome all along, as it's still Trubisky's team despite his unimpressive 2019 showing that resulted in 3,138 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions over 15 games. Trubisky will likely be on a short leash with Foles as a backup.

Peterman agreed to a restructured contract that will pay $1 million -- all guaranteed -- in 2020, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Peterman inked a one-year, $2.133 million contract in April, but none of that money was guaranteed. Presumed No. 2 quarterback Marcus Mariota is dealing with an undisclosed injury, so it makes sense for the Raiders to rework a mutually beneficial deal that will likely keep Peterman rostered through the entire 2020 season. If Mariota gets healthy, however, Peterman could be a healthy scratch on gameday.

Stidham (hip) is no longer in contention to start at QB for the Patriots, following the announcement that Cam Newton has secured the job, Karen Guregian of the Boston Herald reports.

Stidham has reportedly been managing a hip issue of late, which didn't help his cause, but Newton has impressed the team's coaching staff since signing with New England and offers a nice mix of talent and experience as the franchise transitions from long-time signal caller Tom Brady. Newton is currently healthy, but he has dealt with injuries in the past, so Stidham -- who remains highly regarded by the Patriots' brass -- will be on call in the event that Newton finds himself sidelined at any point this season.

Jackson says he's 100 percent healthy, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

Jackson returned to practice Aug. 24 after missing a couple days with a minor groin injury. There's been no report of trouble since that time, so he should be all set for a Week 1 home game against Cleveland. His two matchups with the Browns last year produced 486 passing yards, 169 rushing yards, six passing TDs and three turnovers.
