And if he makes his incentives, still about 25.5 a year and we're probably winning a lot of games.. That't just about what you pay a QB these days. Just imagine what a guy like Mahomes is going to get(probably 28-30+ a year). This isn't a bad deal for the Jaguars at all.

The ONLY thing that I am upset about at QB is the fact we resigned Bortles vs just picking up the 5th year option. If we did that, we see 0 dead money and might be able to keep Gip around. We just upgraded QB, arguably the weakest single position on offense.

Exactly!

Even Mike freaking Florio, who never hesitates to Jag bash, loved the move.

Quote: The fact that they were the only serious suitor for Foles allowed the Jaguars to stay on the right side of $25 million per year, putting Foles behind the likes of the Zero Win Playoffs club of Derek Carr ($25 million), Matthew Stafford ($27 million), Jimmy Garoppolo ($27.5 million), and Kirk Cousins ($28 million).
