The Jaguars continue to provide a good home for stray former Patriots.

According to a tweet from his agent, former Patriots quarterback Mike Kafka was claimed off waivers by the Jags.

That’s four players making that trek in the last month, along with defensive tackles Brandon Deaderick and Kyle Love, and wide receiver Jeremy Ebert.

It also has a two-fold impact on the Jaguars quarterback situation.

First, it adds a more experienced backup option behind the competition for the starting job being contested by Blaine Gabbert and Chad Henne. At the moment, undrafted rookies Matt Scott and Jordan Rodgers are the only other quarterbacks in camp.

But more importantly, it paves the way for You-Know-Who to come home when the Patriots cut him.
