Total cap cost to Jags for Bortles resign: $25.5 million (2018 10 mill cap + 2019 16.5 dead cap - 2020 1 mill offset)
Total cap cost to Jags for Bortles 5th year option: $19 million

7.5 ( 6.5 offset with hindsight) to secure a QB for 2 extra years coming off a good season and playoffs seems reasonable to me. Just didn't work out and thats the amount they were willing to risk. The contract seemed to be setup to reduce the 2018 cap hit from the 5th year option.

I think the bigger mistake was using the 9 million they saved in 2018 by extending Bortles( 19 million franchise tag- 10 million 2018 cap hit) to sign Moncrief instead of using it to build depth.
