The Bortles deal really isn't all that terrible, term is more than good and the AVG/YR puts him in the bottom third of the league for starters, and even that is misleading since many of those guys (i.e. every rookie since 2014) will be getting new deals by the time Bortles deal runs out. It's very likely he has a bottom five AVG by 2020. The Peters deal is poor, obviously two third rounders for a top ten at his position player suggests this was a moving on from a guy more than asset maximization. Although the fact no one beat that offer, despite CB being another position where the need is desperate for many teams, kinda suggests his rep around the league isn't very good. Still, for a one year gamble for the Rams, they could easily win the Super Bowl and just let him walk after that.

As far as Jerry goes, well, it's being made out as a fine, but really the other owners just want him to pay back the additional expenses he made them incur with his Zeke tantrum last year. But anytime Jerry loses, it's the world who wins, so haha Jerry.
