Whether an option or not, there's no way the Bengals should offer to pay part of his contract to trade him. They can release him and it costs them absolutely nothing. So throwing in money to trade him would be a pretty dumb decision. Why lose any money when there's an option that would cost you zero money? I simply don't understand the that sort of thought process.
Additionally, if a team were willing to trade for Dalton but didn't want to pay him his cheap starting money there are other options. They could allow that team a window to try and work a deal with Dalton instead of just unnecessarily giving away money.
I understand that a lot of people cannot wait for Dalton to get out of town, but there's no reason to do dumb shit to make it happen.
Dumb shit like getting something instead of nothing?
Yea I’m not tracking your thought process. I would rather get a draft pick and have to pay a little than get no draft pick.
Hell IF we hit on a draft pick at damn near any position other than K or P and they turn into a stud you can pretend the money we ate in the trade is part of that rookies contract. And they are still coming at a discount compared to a stud vet who plays the same position and just got a 2nd contract.
