Of course, the other team does like to have a long-term contract already ironed out prior to entering serious trade negotiations. It's like putting a sticker in the window of a car on the sales lot. The buyer knows the price. Not having to make a trade THEN negotiate a contract makes a trade even more attractive than before.

At least now the uncertainty whether or not the Jaguars can move Bortles is somewhat less murky.

Now if Bortles' defenders can forward the name of a single NFL franchise interested in obtaining the services of Blake Bortles....

Let that sink in for a while.

I follow all of our players on social and it's pretty jarring how silent they have been. I am still waiting to see some likes and retweets of the news from the big names. It's been pretty silent on ig and Twitter. No congrats or nothing. As for me, I'm still a little stunned. There's is no doubt he showed some improvement this year but there's also no doubt they were clearly scared to let him drive in several games. Sorry but I just don't see that it factor in him. I know they probably did this early to show him they're all in and hopefully motivate him to work that much harder this off season. The good thing is, they can now draft a guy early without creating a controversy and causing Blake to play in fear. As a fan I just hope it all works.
