The Jaguars need to stay young at quarterback

The Jacksonville Jaguars have a lot of holes to fill this offseason. One of the more important decisions, if not the most important is how to handle their quarterback situation – not only for the short term, but for the long term viability of the team.

The general consensus from both the national and even our local media is that it’s time for the team to move on from the oft-maligned fifth-year quarterback Blake Bortles.

What makes that a challenging proposition is the $16.5M in dead money that’s left from a three-year contract extension he was rewarded with after leading the team to their first AFC Championship game in over a decade and a half.
