Just getting a look at the way the Jaguars structured Nick Foles' contract. As previously reported, $25M signing bonus and $12M cap figure in 2019. Base salary of $5M in 2019 and that jumps to $15.125M (fully guaranteed), $14.875M and $20M in next three years. Cap figure of $22.125M in 2020 followed by $26.875 and $27M. It's irrelevant because Jaguars aren't cutting Foles, but contract also included an eye-popping $33.875M dead figure cap in 2020.

A lot of things went wrong on offense for the Jaguars in 2018, and one of the more surprising things was the team trading for RB Carlos Hyde in October and then hardly using him. Hyde ran for 189 yards on 58 carries in eight games and had just two games in which he averaged more than 3.3 yards per carry. Hyde admitted he was frustrated about his lack of work after the Jaguars' loss at Buffalo on Nov. 25, telling The Florida Times-Union, “I went from starter [Cleveland] to not getting the ball at all, down to third string. Yes, it's frustrating but I have to be patient for my time to come back around. When it comes, I'll be ready. … “The only reason I got more [carries against Buffalo] was because Leonard [Fournette] went out. I just want to play more and be more involved.” The Jaguars gave up a fifth-round pick to Cleveland for Hyde, who was cut last Friday. Executive VP of football operations Tom Coughlin said Wednesday – the first time he's spoken to the media since the 2018 draft -- he didn't want to talk about Hyde's minimal impact other than to say “the opportunity was there and it didn't work out.”

Jags cut QB Bortles loose after signing Foles
The Jaguars released quarterback Blake Bortles on Wednesday, cutting ties with the player they drafted third overall in 2014 after five tumultuous seasons, just hours after signing free-agent quarterback Nick Foles.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
Releasing Blake Bortles without a post-June 1 designation means the Jaguars will absorb a $16.5 million dead cap hit and save only $4.5 million. Bortles was guaranteed $6.5 million this year. He also was due a $1 million roster bonus on the fifth day of the 2019 league year (Sunday), but obviously will not receive that now. The Jaguars now have four quarterbacks under contract for 2019: Nick Foles, Cody Kessler, Tanner Lee, and Alex McGough.

The Jaguars have released QB Blake Bortles, ending the up-and-down tenure of the player they drafted third overall in 2014. The move was expected after the team signed Nick Foles earlier in the day. Bortles committed more turnovers of any player and threw the most interceptions of any quarterback since he entered the league, but he also led the Jaguars to the AFC Championship game after the 2017 season.

These are the Jaguars' unrestricted free agents free to sign elsewhere. NOTE: A.J. Cann has not yet signed his new deal, which is why he's on the NFL's official list.
Michael DiRocco ESPN Staff Writer
There are still viable options at OT available in free agency, but if the Jaguars do not sign one then offensive tackle is now definitely in play with the seventh pick in the draft. The Jaguars drafted Will Richard in fourth round last year but he was not ready to compete with Jermey Parnell and eventually ended up on IR. Jaguars can't go into the spring without a better option at the position.
