Blake Bortles

Believe it or not, if we’re talking about realistic options (Newton isn’t very realistic) for the Titans to sign, Bortles is the best of the bunch because of what he brings to the table.

With his combination of a big arm and athleticism, Bortles would fit in almost seamlessly in place of Tannehill. Bortles still gives the Titans options with bootlegs and he can make all the throws off of play action.

Not to mention, he should come cheap, as Bortles made just $1 million as  Jared Goff’s backup with the Los Angeles Rams last season.

Bortles also has starting experience and has played deep into the playoffs before after the Jags were just one quarter away from making it to the Super Bowl in 2017.
