Bortles could be as low as a 5 mil. cap hit next year if a team were to sign him for 6.5 mil.  I think he needs to start next week and hopefully he balls  out to where a team will sign him.  The more he makes next year with another team the more it saves us, up to 6.5 mil

I'm not sure where you are getting the only 5 mil cap hit. Bortles is guaranteed 6.5 mil in salary next year which would be offset by the salary given by the team signing, but we would still have 10 mil left on the amortizing of his 15 mil signing bonus which we would have to eat next year. We paid the full 15 mil of his signing bonus and only 5 mil of that has counted against us on this year's cap. There is no way we can get that other 10 mil off our books.
