He has yet not been paid the $6.5 million for 2019. Due to the offsets, if he signs with another team for $6.5 million or less (or doesn't sign with anyone), he will get paid $6.5 million guaranteed. The amount the new team pays will be subtracted from the amount the Jags pay him. The only way he can earn more than $6.5 million in 2019 is if a team decides to pay him more than $6.5 million, which would be unlikely. So there really isn't any incentive for him to restructure. I would imagine that he will sign with a team for league minimum.

The articles I've read say that Bortles' guaranteed money for the rest of his contract will have already been paid or will be paid when he's cut but the point about the offset language is well taken, I stand corrected. It actually makes it more likely he would be willing to play for the league minimum somewhere.
I'm condescending. That means I talk down to you.

ABOUT US
The Jungle Forums is the Jaguars' biggest fan message board. Talking about the Jags since 2006, the Jungle was the team-endorsed home of all things Jaguars.

Since 2017, the Jungle is now independent of the team but still run by the same crew. We are here to support and discuss all things Jaguars and all things Duval!
