Edwards claimed by Jags (1 Viewer)

Has a former starting QB ever played against his old team in the same season? You have your assignment......

 
per PFT:

We're reporting only two teams claimed Trent Edwards: The Jets and Jaguars. (Buffalo's next 2 opponents.)

Well he wasn't the starter, but in 1990, Steve Walsh began the season with the Cowboys and was traded to the Saints. He then started for the Saints vs the Cowboys in week 13. Cowboys won 17-13.
 
What's the standard practice or expectations on sharing playbooks? I mean could the Jags be signing him to get an edge on what to expect via playcalling and then drop the guy back to waivers after the game?

Craig Morton also close, began the '74 season with the Cowboys, but lost the starting job to Staubach. Went to the Giants and started for them against Dallas in week 7.

Ah, here we go. Archie Manning started at QB for the Houston Oilers in week 1 of 1983. By the time the Oilers played Minnesota in week 7, Manning was a Viking. Looking at the box score, it's possible Archie was on the field for the final kneel-down for the Vikings win.

a) I don't think Edwards knows the Bills' playbook all that well lolb) the jags ain't making the playoffs. :(

I'd think he needs a few weeks before he could start. Unless Garrard somehow finds his form from when he initially took over for leftwich, Edwards will be given a shot. I'd think this might help a mike thomas and marcedes Lewis, no? And mjd probably gets more catches too.

"Trent, are you sure there were no passing plays BEYOND the line of scrimmage?"
 
The Jets wanted Trent Edwards for the reason you think

In Jacksonville, Trent Edwards could become an alternative to starter to David Garrard.

The other team that claimed Edwards partially did it for other reasons.

"The obvious thing would be we were going to pick his brain. Absolutely, that would be true," Jets coach Rex Ryan said Wednesday when asked why he wanted Edwards.

Honesty is awesome.

"The other thing is, I think the young man can play. I think he's a good quarterback and we always look at every opportunity to make our team better," Ryan said.

Ryan interestingly said he asked Kellen Clemens' for the No. 3 quarterback's blessing before making the claim. Clemens was all for it, which indicates Edwards would have been the No. 4 guy in New York, and probably not for long.
