Sure, they can get out of it; they could pretty painlessly get to $75 mil in cap room, so the question isn’t “can they keep Bortles?”, it’s do they want to, and, if not, what direction do they want to go at QB. IMO, whether they keep him or not depends on whether he sustains this high level of play when the competition gets tougher- if it does, of course you pick up the option (though I’d still draft Lamar jackson). I’d keep Allen Robinson even if you have to franchise him, let Lee Hurns and ivory go, and draft offensive line- they don’t really have any other holes

It looks like they can get out of the Bortles option if they want.

According to overthecap.com: “The Jaguars picked up the fifth year option on Bortles for 2018 which is
worth $19.053 million. The contract is guaranteed for injury and will
become fully guaranteed if Bortles is on the roster on the 1st day or
the 2018 league year.”
