Honestly not Bortles bashing, but I wonder if Hurns is even discussed as a cut, even with his contract, if the team didn't exercise the 5th year option on Bortles.

That's $19 million worth of salary for Bortles in 2018.

Looking at the merits, Hurns would be a tough cut.

Hurns is a proven 1000 yard receiver. He is tough and runs good routes. Has no off field issues at all, to my knowledge.

From what I can tell, if Hurns is truly 5th on the depth chart it seems Marrone is favoring more explosiveness at WR, as Westbrook, Cole and Wynn all look more explosive than Hurns.

If they cut Hurns, I would hope it's after week 1. Houston is banged up at WR. It would be so Jaguars to sign Hurns to an extension, cut him a year afterward, only to have a division rival sign him and he kill us.
