I roll with Bortles. Worst case I keep Henne at backup.  I'd rather not roll the dice at all the mid tier qbs that are going to get overpaid and only 1-3 will be worth it.  I don't want to overpay for Cousins and we pick late enough that I wouldn't address it in the draft.  Mason Rudolph is the last qb i would take and he will be overdrafted too.  If we cut Henne I'd be okay with Cody Kessler, or Fitzpatrick as a backup. 

I use that fa qb money to keep Arob and see if Bortles takes a giant leap forward.

I'm all for letting Bortles play out his contract this season and seeing what happens, but we're still gonna need to draft a guy. Henne has to go. He's completely overpaid for what he is. If we bring in Kessler or Fitzpatrick as a backup and Bortles doesn't get any better or even worse yet, reverts to his 2016 form, what do we do? With what you are proposing, we'd have no backup plan. Looking at the FA QB's who will be available in 2019 as well as that QB draft class, it looks completely barren. I certainly don't wanna be looking for a starting QB in 2019, but we have to be realistic. Bortles might not improve and we have to have something to fall back on. That means drafting a QB on the first or second day of the draft.
