He'll be getting starter money to sit on the bench at age 26 having QBed the team for the last 5 years. Just move on, we aren't missing out on anything

I think a backup making starter's money is a little unpleasant if you're the owner but as fans it really shouldn't bother us, especially if a good chunk of it would just be wasted as dead cap anyway if you drop him. I also think Bortles' athleticism and generally good attitude would make him a decent backup (assuming they would let him be a read-once-and-run style running QB and stop trying to turn him into a pocket passer). You could do worse in a backup.  Do agree it could be a little awkward from a team chemistry standpoint but they'd probably be able to make it work.

I agree.

Bortles is only 26,  coming back as a Bridge/Backup is a great option.

His attitude is top notch.... time will tell.
