The LA Rams acquired Blake Bortles last offseason, replacing Sean Mannion and Brandon Allen with a player who was once the third overall pick, had won two playoff games just two seasons earlier, and 2,632 pass attempts with the Jacksonville Jaguars. To grade the result of that signing is damn near inconsequential because Bortles ended up throwing two passes in 2019, but he came at a cost of only $1 million.
A player who threw 35 touchdowns in 2015, went 10-6 as a starter in 2017, Bortles was among the cheapest veterans in the NFL last year and he’s currently a free agent who may never find a home again.
