Report: Blake Bortles to Be Cut by Jaguars After Nick Foles Contract Agreement

The Jacksonville Jaguars are planning to release quarterback Blake Bortles, reported Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network on Monday.

The news comes on the heels of the report that the Jaguars have agreed to terms with former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles on a four year, $88M contract, per Rapoport and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. The contract has $50.125M in guaranteed money, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The release will mark the official conclusion of the 26-year-old's five-year career with a Jags team that experienced the high of a near-Super Bowl appearance in 2017 and the low of two 3-13 seasons in 2014 and 2016 during the signal-caller's era.
