If you have a backup who feels like he can be a legit starter, then there's no chance he re-signs when his rookie deal is up. At that point, you have to hope someone gives him a huge deal just to get a 3rd round comp pick, but he'll most likely sign a deal that nets us a 5th rounder or later.

To the bold, that's a valid point. But that's for the 2018 Bengals to worry about. I'm more concerned about the 2016-17. Hopefully AJM leaves in 2018 with the ring he got while sitting on the bench and everyone looks back and says 'man, we should've traded him and got something.' But I'd rather look back and say that than to look back and say 'damn, AD got injured at the end of the regular season and we had to pay out the nose for Weeden.'

If AJM or a rookie is playing, we probably aren't winning more than 7 games tops regardless. I'd take my chances with a rookie.
