Bortles spent last season as a backup with the Rams and will fill a similar role in Denver, who just lost starting QB Drew Lock to a shoulder injury for a few weeks. 

Bortles, 28, was taken with the No. 3 overall pick by the Jaguars back in 2014. He played out the final year of his four-year, $20,654,796 rookie contract when the Jaguars picked up his fifth-year option.

Jacksonville elected to sign Bortles to a three-year, $54 million contract that included $26.5 million guaranteed. However, they cut him loose last year after signing Nick Foles to a contract.

Bortles caught on with the Rams on a one-year, $1 million deal for the 2019 season. 

In 2019, Bortles appeared in three games for the Rams and completed one of his two passing attempts for three yards.
