Releasing Bortles saves the Jaguars $4.5 million in salary cap space with a dead money hit of $16.5 million. While it has not been announced how the cut is being applied just yet, the team can designate Bortles a post-June 1 cut, splitting his dead money between 2019 and 2020 Youth Donte Moncrief Jerseys , moving the total cap savings to $9.5 million.As mentioned, the move was expected by quite a few this offseason, despite the fact that Bortles was fresh off a new deal last offseason. Following a 2017 NFL season that had the Jaguars on the door step of the Super Bowl, the team gave Bortles a new deal in the hopes that the light had finally come on. Despite a quick start to the 2018 season, the wheels seemed to come off against the Kansas City Chiefs and never got right thanks to massive injury hits on the offensive side of the ball. Bortles was benched mid-season in favor of Cody Kessler Donte Moncrief Jerseys Stitched , who didn’t fair any better, and it became clear the Jaguars were going to be moving on.Bortles was given one last start in the final game of the season and predictably it ended in disaster. He finished the 2018 season with 13 passing touchdowns and 11 interceptions, more in line with what his numbers had been through his career outside of 2015.

Taven Bryan stunk out loud learning a new position and D.J. Chark wasn’t very productive in the worst passing offense in the NFL. (Shocker!)Ronnie Harrison showed signs of being a stud of a third round pick and if Will Richardson can compete for a starting position and become depth at worse, that’s not a bad fourth round pick either. Logan Cooke in the seventh was a needed pick and Leon Jacobs showed flashes, which is more than expected out of the 230th overall pick.What do you think? Should Kiper have given the Jaguars a higher grade or is a C about right? Let us know in the comments below!
