Does Blake Bortles make sense as Cleveland Browns backup QB?

The last few years haven’t been pleasant for Blake Bortles. The first round pick in 2014 has had his moments of success, but has often found himself as a main cause for the losses in Jacksonville.

Even after a 10-6 season that saw the Jaguars come one drive away from a Super Bowl appearance, Bortles was thought of as more of a hindrance than a help to their playoff run.

Following their most recent 5-11 record, it appears the Bortles era is done in Florida, with several NFL media saying Bortles will be released once Nick Foles is signed at the opening of free agency on Wednesday.
