Teams will then come out with offers... maybe the 5th round pick, like you suggest. The Bengals could then renegotiate and try to work up to a deal they like or just flat out say No. The agent could then ask the Bengals what they are wanting and then see if any team would be willing to meet the demand.
Benching Dalton when they did was BS. We won't "find out" anything about Finley than we did with Dalton. Only that the OLine still sucks. The running game is non-existent. The defense will still give up the big play. If we really want to see Finley in action, then bench Green as well. Let us see what Finley does without Green. Instead we get this fool's gold approach where we put Green out there with Finley.
We again don't really know if the Bengals didn't shop him behind the scenes. We know Dalton wasn't given heads up for his agent to, but again only one team (Bears) really had a need that is a contender this season and we don't know how their organization actually feels about their QB long term (we know what they should think). I'd say the team feels they can get better compensation in the off season when as many as 8 teams will be in the market for a QB.
