We'd then have to start ripping this roster apart due to our salary cap going to hell. Could we afford Cousins right now? Sure. But use your damn head and think just a little bit into the future...

~10 million dollars will be the difference between Cousins and Blake this year. That isn't tearing apart anything, it's less than one good player. And if Blake does what you expect him to do he'll be demanding 150 million dollars next year, while risking a valuable year of window if Blake doesn't take another step forward.

If Blake does do enough to demand a 150 million dollar contract are you going to be making the same argument that we shouldn't sign him because it will rip the team apart? Of course that's a rhetorical question I already know the answer.

Even if we have a season next year like this one, why would Bortles command $150m? Everybody already believes he's garbage right? And hes being carried by this Defense right? So if that's the case, nobody is going to even think about paying him that kind of money right?

And in either case, that's the exact reason why I've been a fan of them giving Bortles a 3-4 year extension at around $17-20m right now. That $10-13m is enough for at least one player each year, or they can keep rolling it over to put it towards Ramsey and/or Ngakoue etc. and it'd be an easy contract to get out of in 2 years if he flops.
