The BOAT Blake Bortles Signing a One-Year Deal With the Packers

SJ - May 12, 2021

Blake Bortles is back. You can't keep the BOAT down for too long. The former first-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars is signing a one-year deal with the Packers.

Bortles didn't play in 2020, but did spend some time on the Broncos practice squad. He was in Los Angeles as the Rams backup during the 2019 season.

The move reportedly has little to do with Aaron Rodgers' current situation. That's the official word, but it will sure be nice to have a veteran quarterback around when Rodgers no shows and Jordan Love is forced into action.
