That would of been the time to trade him. Could not believe the Stains wanted him after what he showed last Offseason.
Driskel was much better and he can run.
That dude did the Stains a favor bumbling that trade.
I think the right time was after 2015 when the league had seen him play serviceably in Andy's absence (save for 3 quarters of the Pittsburgh playoff game). He had 2 years left regardless and could have been a nice option for a team looking to make a qb change without shelling out big money. I suppose it's possible that no team offered them anything, but it seems unlikely to me.
Now, even if he's restricted, I'm not sure a team gives up a second (could be wrong about what they would have to give the Bengals) to procure him. Way too many options out there at or above his level to get crazy trying to pry him away. I think he's a Bengal if he gets RFA'd. We know that the family's asking price for him is high, and the family doesn't budge on those sorts of things too often.
