I'm still not over the Jaguars waiving Nathan Rourke last year.
Technically, they had to waive him in order to put him back on the practice squad once Trevor was ok. I don't think they really thought someone (Patriots) would claim him. I think they got even with the Mac Jones trade though. He'll be a solid back up this year and could net the Jaguars something in trade value down the line.

"Elks on a roll" reminds me of the old joke about the bartender giving the drunk a turtle and the guy comes back the next day to get another roast beef sandwich on a hard roll.
