Interview With Bortles About Benching
|
My guess is that perhaps 1 of 4 things is going to happen.
1. Blake Bortles is cut prior to training camp. 2. The team somehow works out a trade for him in the off-season prior to the draft. 3. I thought that I read somewhere that his cap hit is lower after a certain time (June/July?). The team either works a trade after that time or just cuts him. 4. He remains on the roster for training camp with some kind of competition coming in to challenge him for the starting position. My gut instinct tells me that option 2 or 3 is the most likely scenario. I just don't think that he will be one of the 53 at the start of next season. While some argue against a trade for him because of salary, my thinking is that a trade might involve another player and perhaps draft picks. Just as an example (and perhaps reaching) maybe an OL or a WR with some salary that would come with that player to offset the salary cost? I don't know and I am by no means an expert regarding such deals. Regarding the OP, he was both honest and humble about the situation in the interview. He acknowledged that he didn't do a good enough job and lost his position. He also stated that he wanted to more-or-less emulate what Chad Henne did when he lost the starting position. Give as much help or advice to Kessler and do what he can to help the team win a game. Like him or not it appears that he is handling it like a man and a true professional. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. |
