Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Marrone would like to add a quarterback behind Gardner Minshew.

Minshew, picked in the sixth round of the 2019 draft, enters the 2020 season as the No. 1 quarterback on the Jaguars’ roster after Nick Foles was traded to the Chicago Bears.

“Yeah, he’s our quarterback, there’s no doubt about it,” Marrone said in an interview with NFL Network on Friday. “But one of the things that we’re doing is we’re still looking to make sure that we’re upgraded at each position. So we’re still looking. There are some veterans out there that we might look at to bring in along with the young guys that we have.”

One potential upgrade could be Andy Dalton, who spent the past nine seasons as the starting quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. His first three years on the job with the Bengals corresponded with Jay Gruden’s time as Cincinnati’s offensive coordinator.

Gruden, fired as the Washington Redskins’ head coach, is now the offensive coordinator of the Jaguars.

Other veteran options on the market include former Carolina Panthers star Cam Newton and former Baltimore Ravens and Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco.

Minshew went 4-4 as the starter for the Jaguars last season.

The Bengals moved on from Dalton and drafted Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
