Football Bucs trade McCown to Jags for future draft pick

[GotGibson?]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded backup quarterback Luke McCown to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for an undisclosed pick in next year's NFL draft.

McCown was beaten out for the Bucs starting job by Byron Leftwich. The trade comes just hours after Tampa Bay announced its final cuts and retained four quarterbacks -- Leftwich, McCown, Josh Freeman and Josh Johnson.

McCown is entering his sixth NFL season. He has made seven career starts for the Buccaneers and Cleveland Browns, compiling a 1-6 record.

McCown passes physical; Jaguars cut Bouman

Quarterback Luke McCown has passed his physical with the Jacksonville Jaguars, prompting the team to cut veteran backup Todd Bouman.

The moved was announced on Sunday.

Jacksonville traded an undisclosed draft pick in 2010 to Tampa Bay on Saturday night in exchange for McCown. He is 1-6 as a starter, has completed 59.7 percent of his passes, and has nine touchdown passes and 10 interceptions. Byron Leftwich beat out McCown for Tampa Bay's starting job.

The Jaguars will head into their regular-season opener at Indianapolis next Sunday with little experience behind starter David Garrard and a backup still trying to learn the playbook.
