Yeah they might decide to trade him instead of paying him the big money he would command. Depends how he develops.  

Think about it this way. If we're sticking with Bortles we'll be playing him 25+ million in 2019 regardless. 
It'd nice be great if we had a great rookie QB on a shiny rookie contract for the next 4/5 but I don't seem that happening either.

I simply don't understand how people can go from saying Bortles is one of the worst QBs in the league, who simply got carried by a great Defense. Then completely flip it and say he wont get anything less than $25m a year.. What? Don't give me that [BLEEP] that, that's the going rate of a starting QB when so many of you have said that Bortles is god awful.

Well [BLEEP], then lets just sign everybody since we have more money than we know what to do with. 

Pay Cousins the most money in NFL history. Make Ramsey the highest paid CB in the NFL. Ngakoue one of the highest paid Pass Rushers. Give Myles Jack at least $60million over 4 years (Telvin got $50 over 4). ARob at least another $60m+ over 4.

We'll also be able to keep Campbell, Malik and Dareus because you know, money, we got it. Then you add the draft picks, yeah they wont take up a huge amount, but it's still some more $$. On top of everything else. etc etc

Deep breath now Eric. You are getting mad online about football.  

If Bortles is the guy we are sticking with in the future (no idea if he is or not) then he's going to cost a minimum of that in 2019. A) If he does really well that's what he will cost and B) If he does meh but we decide to franchise him another year he will cost 25 million for that year.  

If he stinks next year he won't be back (or at least he shouldn't). It's pretty simple. 

Funnily enough we can do all of that bar keeping Dareus (and Jack hasn't shown he's worth that much yet, you don't wanna pay two off ball LBs that much ideally).
