We numerically study the effect of adding quenched disorder in the form of randomly placed pinning sites on jamming transitions in a disk packing that jams at a well-defined point J in the clean limit. Quenched disorder decreases the jamming density and introduces a depinning threshold. The onset of a finite threshold coincides with point J at the lowest pinning densities, but for higher pinning densities there is always a finite depinning threshold even well below jamming. We find that proximity to point J strongly affects the transport curves and noise fluctuations, and we observe a change from plastic behavior below jamming, where the system is highly heterogeneous, to elastic depinning above jamming. Many of the general features we find are related to other systems containing quenched disorder, including the peak effect observed in vortex systems.
