So, the Jaguars are currently $28.3 mil under the cap before restructuring Calais or making a decision on Bortles.

The Bortles decision has already known...its going to be a post June 1st cut.

Bigger decision is Foles and at what cost...

I agree, though if there is a chance to take Bortles' dead money hit on the 2019 instead of the 2020 cap, I'd take it. We have Ramsey, Jack, and Ngakoue coming up for renewal next season and that's going to cost a fair amount of money. Added to that I think they don't restructure Campbell until after the season so they can take full advantage of the extra money to pay R/J/N. (PS. I know Ramsey is on the fifth year option but that's $23 million, they'd have to find a way to get a deal done).

We currently have $20.3 million open on the 2020 cap with Bortles, Dareus, and Campbell as our top three cap hits. Assuming Bortles is a post June 1 cut, Dareus gets released, and Campbell is restructured that would open up roughly $48 million on the 2020 cap for a total of $68 million. That's plenty to sign Foles this year, plus sign Ramsey and Ngakoue next year. (I think Jack is let go in FA).
