The long term future may not be as dark as I thought

This would be true if we paid out his salary flat, or even front loaded it like we could have. Unfortunately we only gave him 10 mil this year so we could go all in on studs like Moncrief and Hayden. The next two years of Bortles are 21 and 23 million, not cheap. Puts him in the same range as the always laughed at Flacco contract, and only a couple mil less than the derided Carr and Stafford deals. Yes, it's good that we can get out of Bortles' contract sooner than theirs...but it still makes this window dicey if we don't hit on virtually all of our young fill in draftees.
