While some of the excitement surrounding the Los Angeles Rams in free agency has shifted to the recent signing of Clay Matthews, details in regards to the one-year deal for Blake Bortles have been released, and it’s just as amazing as it sounds.
Thanks to a hefty extension last offseason, the Jacksonville Jaguars knew it would be difficult financially to move on from Bortles, but also necessary since the former first-round pick had been given every opportunity to prove himself worthy of being the starter.
At the end of the day, a fresh start between both parties seemed to be the best solution this offseason, especially since it helped the Jaguars land one of the top free agents from this year in Nick Foles at quarterback.
