Jaguars have ruled seven inactive players against the Miami Dolphins, including
a healthy scratch for backup running back T.J. Yeldon.Jaguars inactives vs.

SpaightDT Eli AnkouOL Brandon ThomasYeldon being out is a bit of a surprise,
until you remember he’s a free agent at the end of the season and the team is
both trying to see what they have in fellow backup running backs Carlos Hyde and
Dave Williams and doing him a favor by protecting him from injury.Chark being
out is a shame as it would be nice for him to get snaps in his rookie season.
And Lambo has been dealing with a hurt groin for several weeks. After repeatedly
failing to find a franchise quarterback in the NFL draft, the Jacksonville
Jaguars turned to free agency.Maybe the new path will yield better results.Given
the lack of sustained success between predecessors Byron Leftwich, David
Garrard, Blaine Gabbert and Blake Bortles, the bar is set pretty low for Nick
Foles ??even with a lucrative contract and a Super Bowl MVP trophy.The Jaguars
officially agreed to terms with Foles on Wednesday , the official start of free
agency and two days after the sides settled on contract terms. They released
Bortles four hours later, parting ways with the third overall pick in the 2014
draft just 13 months after handing him a three-year
Black Josh Lambo Jerseys , $58 million contract.Bortles was arguably the most ridiculed quarterback in the league in recent years. A number of players ripped
him publicly, including Tennessee defensive end Jurrell Casey, Houston defensive
end Jadeveon Clowney, Seattle safety Earl Thomas and Cincinnati linebacker

Draft Preview: Building around newly acquired QB Nick Foles paramountThe NBC
comedy “The Good Place” took it a step further by making Bortles a recurring
joke during the show’s first three seasons. One of the main characters, Jason
Mendoza, is an amateur disc jockey from Jacksonville and a huge Jaguars fan.
Mendoza is portrayed as a nitwit, who loves Bortles.Jacksonville will save $4.5
million against the salary cap by cutting Bortles. He still will count $16.5
million against the cap in 2019.The extra cash will essentially go to Foles.A
person with knowledge of the deal said it’s worth $88 million over four years
and includes $50.125 million guaranteed. It could increase to $102 million with
incentives, the source said. The person spoke to The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity because neither side chose to disclose financial
terms.Foles will be formally introduced at a news conference Thursday.The
30-year-old Foles went 6-2 in the regular season and 4-1 in the postseason in
place of Philadelphia starter Carson Wentz the last two years. He earned 2018
Super Bowl MVP honors and became the league’s premier quarterback commodity on
the market. Philadelphia opted not to use the franchise tag on Foles. He landed
in Jacksonville
Josh Lambo Jerseys 2019 , which had been the front-runner to get him for weeks.Bortles went 24-49 as a starter, throwing for 17,646 yards, with 103
touchdowns and 75 interceptions.He played turnover-free football in the 2017
postseason, helping the team reach the AFC championship game and showing enough
growth that top executive Tom Coughlin and general manager Dave Caldwell opted
to sign Bortles to a new contract. The deal included $26.5 million guaranteed
and left the Jaguars with little to spend in free agency.They released five
veterans last week, including former Pro Bowl defenders Malik Jackson and
Tashaun Gipson, to clear $30 million in salary cap space. A significant chunk of
that cash will go to Foles.The Jaguars also re-signed guard A.J. Cann on
Wednesday to a three-year, $15 million contract, preventing him from entering
free agency.A third-round draft pick from South Carolina in 2015, Cann started
59 of 64 games over four seasons for the Jaguars. He should help provide some
continuity and stability up front for Foles.Jacksonville will return four O-line
starters ??Cann, left tackle Cam Robinson, guard Andrew Norwell and center
Brandon Linder ??as well as running back Leonard Fournette.The question now is
whether Coughlin and Caldwell have enough talent around Foles to make a
difference.Veteran Marqise Lee will return after missing all of last season with
a knee injury
Black Marqise Lee Jerseys , and fellow receiver Dede Westbrook showed some promise in his second year. But second-round draft pick DJ Chark and second-year
pro Keelan Cole mostly struggled, and the Jags have few, if any, viable threats
at tight end after deciding not to pick up a team option on Austin
Seferian-Jenkins.Nonetheless, Foles should be an upgrade over Bortles. The
Jaguars spent a combined $95 million on Leftwich (2003-07), Garrard (2002-10),
Gabbert (2011-13) and Bortles (2014-18), and never saw much of a return on those
investments at the NFL’s most important position.
