If they feel it's time to move on, they're not going to keep him and pay him his $16 million base salary in 2019 just to move that $5 million signing bonus out to the last year of the deal. If Bortles is cut or traded, that dead cap number you see for 2019 would drop by the $6.5 million thanks to the offset in his contract and be reduced to $10 million to reflect just the remaining signing bonus if realized all that year. $10 million sounds like a big hit but it really isn't when it's either $10 million in 2019 or $5 and $5 as I mentioned above. This deal isn't designed to stop them from moving on from Blake after this season if they want which for a moment I thought it was. Oh I would have preferred the option myself, but the $10 million isn't as bad on 2nd glance when you consider the likely successor if Bortles is out of here after the season would be on a very team friendly rookie deal. Bortles would have to bomb pretty bad or have a significant injury to not make something in the ball park of at least $6.5 million next year if not more. And again, it's either $10 million next year and be done with his cap hits, or it's pay him his $16 million base for a 2019 cap hit of $16.5 million AND still have another $5 million cap hit in 2020 coming. The only way they're paying him next year is if he is the bona fide starter of this team without any question. |
