"As of this week, the Jags were just over $1.5 million in the negative, according to Over the Cap, so the roll over amount will put them at roughly $10.1 million when added based off those figures. With them reportedly looking to cut defensive tackle Malik Jackson this offseason, they could be looking at another $11 million saved towards the cap, while their projected release of Blake Bortles could save them a little over $4.3 million immediately, or $9.3 million after the offseason if done post-June 1.

The Jags could also save more cap space by releasing veterans like safety Tashaun Gipson, offensive tackle Jermey Parnell, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (officially) and running back Carlos Hyde among notables. Restructuring Marcell Dareus’ deal, like they are currently doing with Calais Campbell, could also add more cap space."

So, there's certainly room to go after a veteran QB.

Interesting that they'll save more if they hold on to Bortles until after June 1.  Every penny will help with some key re-signings coming up.

I don't know what he's looking at, but Over The Cap still has the Jaguars $4.3 mil in the red, and that's after accounting for the rollover money from 2018. It's not yet accounting for the Calais restructure tho.

Likewise, Spotrac is already accounting for the rollover but not for Calais, and they have the Jaguars $6.3 mil in the red.
