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).

Lol I'm far from mad bud.

I just can't comprehend some of the logic that gets thrown around on this forum. Everybody that down talked Bortles all season long, saying he was the worst starting QB in the league blah blah blah. Are now flipping their tone saying he's going to demand a contract similar to the one Cousins' about to get.

Literally went from saying he's terrible and will soon be out of the league before this season. To saying that he hit his peak and hes average at best after the AFC Championship game. To now saying he'll command top dollar next off season, simply because they want Cousins and are trying to justify paying him that.
