DECISIONS, DECISIONS: Jacksonville has some big decisions to make on a few high-priced players, most notably tight end Julius Thomas and defensive end Jared Odrick. Thomas is due to make $7 million in 2017, and Odrick is due to make $8 million. Both missed significant time in 2016. The Jags also have contract options on Bortles (fifth-year option) and left tackle Kelvin Beachum.
"I totally get that," Bortles said. "Whoever the new head coach is, I totally understand that he's going to play at quarterback who he wants to play at quarterback and I have no problem with that. I understand that. I think it's the right thing to do. That's part of why I'm going out and getting ready to have my best offseason, so I'm ready to come in to compete for a job if it comes for that."
Helping Bortles fix his flaws will be key for the next regime.
He completed 58.9 percent of his passes for 3,905 yards, with 23 touchdowns and 16 interceptions this season. His mechanics were mostly a mess , his faulty footwork causing inaccuracy and his elongated windup making it easier for defenders to break on his passes.
Although most believe Bortles will be Jacksonville's starter next season, general manager Dave Caldwell said recently he wouldn't mandate that the new coach be committed to Bortles.
Giving his injuries, time to heal should help, too. Bortles said Monday he played more than half the season with a slightly separated right shoulder as well as tendinitis in his right wrist.
Owner Shad Khan already has met with former New York Giants coach and original Jaguars coach Tom Coughlin . The Jaguars plan to interview Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Mike Smith, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and interim head coach Doug Marrone over the next seven to 10 days.
"It's not saying that if I was 100 percent healthy I'd make all the throws,Wholesale NFL Jerseys China. I wouldn't. I'd still miss throws,Cheap MLB Jerseys China. But I would say there was throws or stuff that I missed related to what was going on (with the shoulder and wrist)."
Caldwell drafted Bortles with the third overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, believing the former UCF standout would develop into a franchise quarterback. Bortles looked the part in 2015, but regressed significantly in his third season.
Bortles plans to spend considerable time working with renowned mechanics coach Tom House in Los Angeles.

Here are some other things to know about the Jaguars, who tied a single-season franchise record with nine consecutive losses:
Caldwell said he ideally would like to hire someone with previous head coaching experience, but said it's not a must.
He might need to if he's going to keep his job.
Bortles was one of the main issues for the Jaguars (3-13),Cheap China Jerseys, who finished with double-digit losses for the sixth straight season and missed the playoffs for the ninth consecutive year.

TOP-FIVE AGAIN: The Jaguars have a top-five draft pick for the sixth consecutive year, extending an NFL record.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles plans to have the "best offseason" of his career.
EARLY EXIT: Caldwell's end-of-season meeting with players lasted three minutes Monday, probably the shortest one in franchise history. There wasn't much to say. The Jaguars fell well short of expectations and soon will have a new coaching staff. One part that stood out to players was Caldwell mentioning that the message and mentality from the next coach would be focused on winning. Bradley's mantra focused on the process and not results.
"I know my body and know how I can throw a football, I think it would be stupid to say that there weren't throws that were affected by the wrist or by the shoulder," Bortles said. "I think that's part of playing with injuries. Things are going to happen. They're going to affect you differently. You're going to have to find ways to use other parts of your body to compensate and still deliver efficiently. There were times where I didn't do that.
"It's not just going to magically happen ove
