The Facts: Bortles, starting his second season with the Jaguars, has noticed some of the big contracts that young quarterbacks have signed recently. Carolina’s Cam Newton signed a five-year, $103.8 million extension last week, which translates into more than $20 million a year. And Ryan Tannehill recently signed for just under $20 million a year. “$100 million is always exciting,” Bortles said. “That’s the goal. I try and get better each and every day and why not make a career out of this, not a job? I want to be here long term and do as much as I can to make this team better and have a blast doing it.”

Diehards Line:For Bortles to reach that goal, he has to improve on his mechanics. According to Times-Union staffer x, he was back on target Tuesday at the team’s organized team activity. “I struggled Monday,” he said. “It’s going to happen. That’s part of it and [coach] Gus [Bradley] talks about facing adversity because it wasn’t good, so I think I was able to bounce back. I don’t think it’s as good as it needs to be or as good as we’re going to be come September, but it’s definitely a step in the right direction.” Bortles said he’s still trying to overcome the bad habits he had developed over the years and sometimes reverts to in team drills. Bortles said in individual drills, it’s easier to concentrate on mechanics. But in 11-on-11, there is so much going on that he sometimes reverts to previous methods. “You start thinking about other stuff -- schemes, coverages and reads and stuff like that -- so it’s definitely something I’ll have to continue to work on,” he said. Bortles worked in the offseason in California with throwing guru Tom House and will return for a brush-up session in July. ... With a talented young receiving corps and one of the league's most dangerous scoring tight ends in Julius Thomas, Bortles' improvement is something that will benefit all of them.
