The Jaguars signed Aguilar as an undrafted free agent Sunday.
Aguilar is now officially on the books and set to compete with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for the honor of backing up Trevor Lawrence. Aguilar's 3,565 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns as a senior at Tennessee provide a strong foundation for the summer that he will spend slinging the rock against NFL veterans in an effort to suit up at the highest level.

Joey Aguilar: Headed to Jacksonville

Aguilar is slated to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Aguilar will join the Jacksonville quarterback room and will vie with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for one of two potential backup jobs behind starter Trevor Lawrence. As a seventh-year senior at Tennessee this past fall, Aguilar completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards, 24 pass touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The 24-year-old has a solid arm, good deep ball potential and a great frame, but he struggles with seeing the field. This weakness is especially evident when he's pressured, due to a lack of pocket elusiveness that led to eight fumbles in 2025 and 29 in three years at the FBS level. Aguilar also had surgery in January to remove a benign tumor on his throwing shoulder, adding to the worries already in place about his age as he enters the league.
