Jaguars QB Blake Bortles agrees to three-year deal

The Jacksonville Jaguars and quarterback Blake Bortles agreed on a three-year contract through the 2020 campaign on Saturday, according to multiple reports.

The deal is worth up to $66.5 million with incentives, including $26.5 million guaranteed, according to ESPN.

The Jaguars had a $19 million option for 2018 on Bortles that had to be picked up by March 14.

Bortles helped Jacksonville reach the AFC Championship game this season before the club lost to the New England Patriots.

Bortles has a 21-40 regular-season record as a starter with nearly half the victories occurring in 2017 as the Jaguars went 10-6 and won the AFC South.

He has passed for 90 touchdowns against 64 interceptions in four NFL seasons after being the third overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft. Bortles passed for 3,687 yards, 21 touchdowns and a career-low 13 interceptions in 2017.

He recorded career highs of 4,428 yards and 35 touchdowns in 2015. The passing scores are a franchise record.
