4 year/56 million with Bortles
Or
4 year/50 million with Luck. Id go with Luck.
Maybe its the lifestyle i guess.
You give a lot hard working people out there 50 million dollars, most of them will have more money than started off with in 5 years.
I know i would.

prime example:
calais campbell grew up in the denver area and was offered a contract by the broncos. here is a quote from him in regards to playing with a top D player on a team that has been in the thick of things the past few years
Quote:
Campbell had a pretty high-profile choice to make between the Jaguars and the Broncos. Jacksonville offered the most money, but Denver had the track record and one of the best defensive players in football in Von Miller. Without some of those players in place, could we have seen Campbell change his mind?
"Playing with Von Miller was a big temptation," he said. "He's going to be a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Playing next to a guy like that is a positive, because you feed off a guy like that. That would have been cool. Also, being home would have been a good situation.

He chose to go to JAX. Furthermore, the article states he signed with them without even talking to head coach Doug Marrone or executive vice president Tom Coughlin.
JAX offered more money.
To be fair he spouts some stuff about leaving his mark on a young team, blah blah blah.
Did I mention JAX offered more money?
