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.

UPDATE QB Blake Bortles's contract is a 1-year, $1 million contract, according to Field Yates. That's an absolute steal!

The narrative that Blake is sticking to to the Jags by signing with the Rams is laughable

I don’t believe anyone ever suggested where he signed is sticking it to the Jags.  If you think his market value, all things being equal, would have been 1 year $1 million that’s actually laughable.  If you realize his market value should have indeed been more than that, then by definition his new deal is sticking it to the Jags as they are largely paying him to be the back up in LA this year.

Whether he got any satisfaction out of the way the deal was crafted and knowing that he was hanging the majority of his salary this year on his former team is for him to know and not us.  Other than that, I’m not sure where your comments are coming from.
