Blake Bortles Signs With L.A. Rams

#66

The only beneficiary for Blake’s agent negotiating a salary greater than the minimum from his new team is the Jags.  A team which just cut him.  A team that just prior to cutting him signed his successor with great fanfare.  I just don’t see him and his agent pushing for anything nor do I see the Rams or anyone offering more knowing the offsets are there.  

I mean he might’ve actually turned down a multi year deal for all we know to grab his $6.5 guarantee this year and come back to the negotiating table next year.

I think you're spot on here.

And it sounds like the deal the Rams gave to Bortles really was a way to stick it to the Jags.  $1M for an experienced backup is truly a steal, even if the veteran is Bortles.

The savings next year is $1M.

Never argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
