Quarterback Luke McCown was being shopped around by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to their abundance at the position and the Jacksonville Jaguars were in need of a backup QB to starter David Garrard.
It looks like both sides satisfied their needs as the Bucs shipped McCown to the Jags for a late-round conditional pick in 2010, according to a source familiar with the dealings in question.
The trade, in my humble opinion, worked out for both sides; however, the question remains: Does Josh Johnson or rookie Josh Freeman become the backup to Byron Leftwich in Tampa? Perhaps the problem here is that Johnson is still somehwat a project while Freeman, while raw, has some major upside. I have this hunch that Freeman will get the nod as Leftwich’s understudy.
