[The Solution]

-DT Earl Mitchell (Mia) visited with the Broncos and will visit the Falcons today.

I'm a jags fan so this is intriguing to me. Bortles seemed very promising from his 2015 performance but 2016 was horrid.

[The Solution]

Just like with any QB In the league, have one bad year, and you could be gone. Its sad to say but you work on a yearly contraact now in the NFL. don't perform you are gone. Same goes with coaching.

The big deal is his contract and cap space. They paid him a good amount just to sit the bench if he is NOT performing.

Not a big deal. If he performs he will be the starter.
