So we would be giving them #33 to take the red rocket off our hands and get #77 as a lovely parting gift? That would suck donkey ass. Cut his sorry ass before we do that. It's like tying a pork chop around the kids neck to get the dog to play with him. Waste of a perfectly good pork chop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they find a trade partner wouldnt that partner be obligated to the 16mil left on his contract? Nobody's gonna pay him that imo..

Now next year when he's a FA and realizes no one wants him as a starter, then we can get him on the cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he won't, screw him. $17.7 mil could certainly be spent better somewhere else and to be honest, I would rather Burrow or whoever not have the distraction of the 9 year starter in the locker room. Kitna had only been here a year when Palmer was drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if ges released and finds another suitor his agent can come to Mike with a reasonable backup offer you know the old man would listen...may do ut.. Andys agood guy imo..No big ego and his life values would include tutoring this young man as best he could..No doubt in my mind he put everything he's learned into helping JB..

Kitna had only been here a year when Palmer was drafted. My view on this has been stated and it's looking more and more likely to be the way the Bengals are headed. Tobin said $ will have no bearing on their Andy decision. It appears no one is willing to give us any type of compensation for Andy. Keep Andy and hope he can act like an adult. Or we could always put the savings of cutting Andy into Pumpkin's trust fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good way to ruin your franchise (a lesson Bill B never fell victim to). Well, the Cardinals did that with Fitzgerald. And Fitz is a HOF-er, franchise icon. Dullton is neither. Zero play off wins. 1 playoff TD. He's earned a ticket out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|SF2| Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 We currently have $20m in cap space. Burrow and pick 33 will take up 10mil. I have to think Dalton leaves or restructures if there is any hope of signing Green or Mixon to a deal before the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted March 23, 2020 Report Share Posted March 23, 2020 As far as Andy, I think we have killed two birds with one stone. We know where he is going and we have solved our back up quarterback dilemma. First coronavirus, now this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But extensions for Green and WJ3 can and likely will reduce their cost in 2020. Mixon's extension will raise his cost since he's cheap currently.

In Green's case they will probably want to front load most of the signing bonus so if he gets injured again or simply isn't his same ole self they can off load him earlier and not take a big cap hit. I agree with WJ3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
