Someone else would likely pay him around 1/10th that in FA. He would only be owed that if we pick up the 5th year option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 We would have to exercise the option next May before his 4th season. But the option is only guaranteed for injury so we could cut him if he plays poorly next year. Of course, it's no sure thing he'd pass a physical in order to be cut.

I was thinking trade but I guess it'd be their option instead of ours, to make a counter-offer or just cut him instead. I don't think anyone is paying Ross $16M next year.

sparky151 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 The 16 mil would be for 2021. This is his 3rd season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man how time flies on the way to the Hall of Shame I am sure Mikey has already earmarked the $16M for 2021 so he cant sign any free agents this off season as he prepares to pay that.

sparky151 Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 The sad thing is we have plenty of cap space and can easily afford to pay Ross his 16 mil. That doesn't mean he deserves it but he'll get it. Bengals are currently about 14 mil under the cap for this season and can roll that into 2020. We're about 60 mil under the cap for next year. If we had traded Dalton and Glenn this year we'd carry about 26 mil forward and without their salaries on the cap for 2020, we'd have been 112 mil under the cap. But still not able to recruit top free agents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dub Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 It's probably a safe bet that any cap space will be earmarked for players already on the roster. Whether that's someone deserving like AJ or just the path of least resistance like Ross remains to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget about the rookies and the half a billion they need to sign FA during the season in case someone gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We both know the budget for this is zero. We'll go to war with what we have, even if what we have is Great-Grandpappy Brown's rusted sabre from the Spanish-American War.

|SF2| Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 At this point I have no problem with AJ wanting to leave if Dalton is as well. 10 year vet wet nursing either Finley or a rookie QB? I know Larry Fitz is doing it with Murray but Arizona isn't Cincinnati and Fitz's legacy and HOF jacket is already hanging in the ready room.

UncleEarl Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 Green could even end up having surgery if it doesn't heal to the point he can play without pain and swelling. The fact that he didn't opt for surgery says he is trying to come back. Still, there is zero reason for him to take any chances considering the Bengals situation.
