Looking around the NFL for a contingency plan for Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles, few options present themselves. Mike Glennon‘s big Chicago Bears contract despite having no major experience is an example of the dearth of quarterback talent available right now.
Myles Stedman of Yahoo! Sports thinks he may have found the answer, though. Rather than turning to the college ranks, as would seem logical if the talent is thin in the pros, Stedman suggests that Kirk Cousins of the Washington Redskins may be the answer.
On paper, it’s a compelling marriage. The Jaguars have the cap space to make Cousins the highest paid player in the NFL (even beating out Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr, who set the market this offseason) and could lure him away from Washington with it.
