On Sunday, the Texans returned the favor a year later, as they mercifully ended Jacksonville’s miserable season winning 20-3 and in turn claimed the AFC South division title after finishing last in the South a year prior.The return of previously benched quarterback Blake Bortles did nothing to spark an anemic Jaguars offense, that has shown as much signs of life in the last half of the season as a mouse stuck in a wire trap. The Jaguars managed only two first downs in the first three quarters of play, that isn’t a typo. For as much as the offensive line was hyped as being ill-prepared to handle the Texans defense featuring JJ Watt and Jadaveon Clowney, the line mostly held up well in pass protection. Bortles, as has been the case all too many times in the last five years, was simply unable to make the throws needed to be productive enough to make a competitive game of it. For their part, Jacksonville’s defense played a respectable game for having nothing to play for. The team pressured Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson early and often, with Calais Campbell, Yannick Ngakoue, Malik Jackson Womens Brandon Linder Jersey , and Taven Bryan each registering sacks in the game. Campbell’s contributions pushed him to 10.5 sacks to finish the season, making him the first Jaguars player in franchise history to register back to back double-digit sack seasons. Ngakoue would finish with 9.5, falling a half sack short of accomplishing the same.As has been the case for seemingly most of the season, however, the complete ineptitude of the offense was too much for the defensive side to carry on their own. The game marks the almost certain end of the Jaguars careers for Bortles, Malik Jackson, T.J. Yeldon, Carlos Hyde, AJ Cann, Tashaun Gipson, and potentially several others, as the franchise will be making a multitude of personnel changes coming before the start of the league year in March.Perhaps the biggest changes to be made will come much sooner, as we await the fates of General Manager Dave Caldwell, Head Coach Doug Marrone, and Defensive Coordinator Todd Wash. Though things are fluid and can change quickly Jalen Ramsey Jersey , it is expected that Marrone and Wash will be retained, while Caldwell’s future is very much in doubt.The Jaguars finish 2018 with a 5-11 record, and now likely to be picking between 5th and 7th overall in the 2019 NFL Draft.Stay tuned in to Big Cat Country throughout the week, as we will be breaking news as it occurs. The Jacksonville Jaguars have a new quarterback, maybe even the franchise passer the team has been missing for nearly two decades.A person with direct knowledge of the decision says quarterback Nick Foles has agreed to sign a four-year, $88 million contract with the Jaguars.The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the deal cannot become official until free agency opens Wednesday. The person says the deal includes $50.125 million guaranteed and could be worth up to $102 million with incentives.More Jacksonville Jaguars newsJaguars get help for Nick Foles with signings of WR Chris Conley, RT Cedric OgbuehiIt’s official: Jaguars agree to terms with Super Bowl MVP QB Nick FolesJaguars, guard A.J.

He earned 2018 Super Bowl MVP honors, making himself the league’s premier quarterback commodity.Philadelphia opted not to use the franchise tag on Foles, allowing him to hit the open market.A third-round pick in by Philadelphia 2012 http://www.thejaguarslockerroom.com/authentic-dede-westbrook-jersey , Foles started six games as a rookie and 18 more before signing with St. Louis in 2015. After one season as the Rams‘ starter, he moved to Kansas City, where he rejoined former Eagles coach Andy Reid to serve as the backup to Alex Smith. In 2016, Foles returned to Philadelphia to mentor Wentz and wound up becoming a fan favorite and a Super Bowl champion.Jacksonville’s offense mostly sputtered under Bortles, who went 24-49 as a starter. He completed 59 percent of his passes for 17,646 yards, with 75 interceptions. His toughness and mobility were among his best assets, but he still was sacked a whopping 195 times in 75 games. He also lost 19 fumbles.Bortles 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 him to a three-year, $58 million contract in February 2018.The deal included $26.5 million guaranteed. Bortles is due a $1 million roster bonus Sunday.Jacksonville will save $4.5 million against the 2019 salary cap when it cuts Bortles later this week. That number could rise to $9.5 million if the team designates him a post-June 1 release.The worst part of the contract is the Jaguars didn’t need to do it. They already had picked up the fifth-year option in Bortles’ rookie contract and could have let him play 2018 at $19 million and wouldn’t owe him anything now.Regardless, Foles is expected to fill a much-needed void for a small-market franchise that has failed repeatedly at the all-important QB position. The Jags spent a combined $95 million on quarterbacks Byron Leftwich (2003-07), David Garrard (2002-10), Blaine Gabbert (2011-13) and Bortles (2014-18).Now, they’ve committed another $50 million to Foles in hopes that he will be the answer to the team’s most consistent problem.
