Unless this defense and O-line makes huge improvements Dalton will have to play like a Pro Bowler to get another contract from the Bengals. Even if he is playing well enough to start for another team that is just a QB away, we won't begin a complete re-build around a 34-year-old QB. Plus paying a QB 20+ million makes it harder to fill other holes on the roster. So we will be going with a Finley or a 2019 draft pick.
It would be amazing for us if we were to have found a starter with a fourth round pick. Again that allows us to use a high first round pick on another hole in the roster.
I am still hoping we can win something with Andy, AJ, Geno, Carlos, Dre K, and Gio, but it is looking less and less likely every week.
Correct all all fronts.
Everything in this post is my fault.
