NFL.com’s Around the League asked Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell if Blaine Gabbert is going to be the starting quarterback heading into the offseason and training camp.
“It’s going to be a wide-open competition,” Caldwell said.
Caldwell is excited about what Gabbert brings to the table.

Looking back at the this past season, I could see Chad Henne challenge Gabbert for the Jags’ starting quarterback spot.
