Quote:Bortles said he stressed to Tollner that he didn't want to fight over financial details at the expense of limiting what the Jaguars could do with other players.
"That was one of the big things when me and Ryan talked early on about this a week ago," Bortles said. "I said, 'We're getting paid millions of dollars to play football.' It's tough to pitter patter about how much money you're making. It's all incredible. It's all a dream come true. We're all extremely lucky to do it.
"Rather than fight over money here or money there, let's take what we can get because it's more than I ever thought I'd make and it allows us to go get some other guys done and continue to be a good football team all around."

I have mixed feelings here, but I am glad he took the deal and glad the Jags got this deal done. I'm all about BAP in the draft this year, but a QB in (LJ please) the first round would be epic. There are now so many open options for the Jags in FA, going forward with the cap and that's what makes me even more excited now.
