Dalton as a backup with salary cut - Jhowdy54 - 03-18-2020
Would u guys be for Bengals keeping Dalton as a backup if he agreed to take a pay cut? I'd keep him around for 7-8 million to help with Burrow.

No

Nope... Let Andy fly.

I'm not opposed to it, however the issue is how does Dalton feel about this. I wonder if he holds some resentment about not getting cut heading into FA and now there being no starting jobs left. If he would take the role I'd give it to him, but that would 100% be up to Dalton.

U see how much interest hes getting from the outside. Don't think anyone wants to pay him 15 mil as a borderline starting QB. Hes had a solid career, but hes near his end. Maybe hes ok with a backup position for his career moving forward.

Yes and Dalton should jump at that because if Joe gets hurts,dalton can win for us.

I would think that if he'd be willing to take a pay cut to be a backup, it would be to go somewhere else and at least be able to compete to start. But that's just me.

This.

Let him go if he can get a starting gig, he earned that. If he can't get a starting gig, and wants to make the money as a backup, I'm fine with that as well.

Andy wants to start. He's not going to do that here. Let him go.

Also.... I spoke with Andy the other day and he told me that the sound of Zac Taylor's piss hitting the urinal sounds feminine. He's ready to go.

Same feelings.
If I'm Dalton, I would much rather go be a backup with some other team who was closer to winning a championship if I couldn't be a starter.

If I am the agent for AD, I would tell the Bengals not only will AD never work for them again if this was offered up, but no client I have will work for the Bengals again.
This is not a serious option AD would consider or any starting QB who holds most of the Bengals records for a QB
RE: Dalton as a backup with salary cut - bengaloo - 03-18-2020
If he got a new hair style I'd consider it. I think the Joe Dirt mullet could go a long way for Andy transforming himself into a tougher, more inspirational dude. But I dont think he would want to stay here as a backup.
RE: Dalton as a backup with salary cut - 2MinutesHate - 03-18-2020
I've been saying this for some time now. I think it's a great idea. I wouldn't sign anyone if I was the Pats. Wait for the draft, see who's out there, THEN if you don't find a QB, dig through the scraps of FA. The Bengals are cutting him anyway if they can't trade him, which they won't be able to do. Why give up a pick if you don't have to?
If I was Andy, I would seriously consider a backup role here at $3 million/yr and just keep my kids in school and family where they are. He could still be traded if somebody goes down during the season.
He could very well be our new Kitna and I think that'd be just great.

I just can't see it.
In sports, it'd have to be the equivalent of being dumped by your wife for a younger, hotter dude, and then having her ask you to stick around and teach him how to take care of her right..

No. Andy needs a fresh start and Zac needs to move on from the Marvin era QB and take his chances with Burrow. Andy's a good guy and I hope he gets another shot at a starting job. He has done so many wonderful things in Cincinnati, especially for kids with cancer.

That’s a great analogy — but Jon Kitna did it.
