Blake Bortles.  

 

Why????   

 

 

He’s not that good.  And with a high salary not worth it 

 

 

 

I think you missed what he said.  They would GIVE US a 2nd round pick and a 5th round pick to take on his contract.  So we aren't trading for Blake, we are essentially getting the Jags 2nd and 5th round picks just for taking on Blake and his contract.  Just like Cleveland did with Houston when they took on Osweiler.

I understand all view points ,but I really don’t see any eye popping wr’s in free agency and this would allow OT in first and 2 early seconds for Wide receiver’s. I also think his cap hit will b 16 million.... osweiler was 15 ish

I do not want anything to do with Blake Bortles who IMO is slightly better than Tyrod

Read.  He is saying eat the cap hit in exchange for picks and cut him at some point.

You are missing the point.  It has nothing to do with Blake at all.  They give us their 2nd and 5th round pick AND Blake bortles for essentially nothing.  They free themselves of Blakes salary, which we take on and they are paying us a 2nd round pick and a 5th round pick to do so.  

 

Once we have him, we can just cut him and take the cap hit because we have the cap room.  We then have the Jags 2nd and 5th round picks for taking a short term cap hit.  

 

Literally has nothing to do with Bortles or him playing for the Bills.  We just have the cap space to help the Jags relieve cap space...and they are paying us a hefty price in draft picks to do that.  This is what Houston and Cleveland did with Osweiler and then Cleveland cut him and netter the 2nd round pick from Houston still.

 

So thats why I keep saying you are missing the point, really has nothing to do with Bortles nor would Bortles remain a Bill afterwards.

Long time reader first time topic poster.  I was wondering if we could pull a Cleveland move and obsorb Blake Bortles contract for a second rd pick, plus a fifth?

did you need 5 question marks to ask this question?

Also I don’t want Blake bortles 2 even step foot on New era field . Take the cap hit for they compensation. Then release

Interesting but it doesn’t seem to be their style.  Plus there are two QB’s under contract that have both been helpful to Allen.  

doesn't mean we have to keep him, just inherit the money and cut him, like buying a vowel.

Your creativity is noted, and appreciated.

 

I tried to reply with an eloquent post about the value of picks versus cap hit.. but found it hard to verbalize. Short story: a 2nd and 5th for a disposable player is not something the Jags would offer (even to evade a cap hit).

 

The Bortles market will heat up after the draft.

Yeah I brought this up in another thread.

 

I don't think Blake would net that much.........the acquiring team would only have to eat $6.5M(the guaranteed portion of 2019 salary).............so you might get a 4th and a 6th or something?

 

Another interesting one is former Panther All Pro guard and last years hottest OL free agent Andrew Norwell..........who the Jags could save $13M in actual guaranteed 2019 salary if they traded him.    Seeing more of these early year base salary guarantees in contracts.........which makes them more tradeable.      I doubt the Bills would want to pay hi that $13M in salary but if they strike out in OL shopping in FA you never know.   Former Panther stud.

Sorry you don’t agree with my sentiment that I don’t care if they gave us 5 first picks and he comes at no cost.  

 

No to Bortles 

 

?? Shady, are you off your rocker? 5 firsts for Bortles salary... all day, every day.

So you’d rather have an absorption of a substantial contract because of a 2nd and 5th, knowing less than 10% of fifths ever start, vs. going after a couple of WR and a Guard or Center, and then have more talent when we draft as we already have two 2nds.

 

Doesnt make any sense to me as I live in FL and he is not good at all, but I do welcome you to the board.
