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.

I'm not saying get nothing. I'm saying if they get offered a 4th, take it. I'm saying don't eat part of his contract to try and get a higher draft pick. I would much rather trade him than cut him, but competent ownership would've traded him at the deadline last season and not given up all of their leverage because they don't want to improve other teams.

The best thing about moving on from Dalton is the additional cap space. That almost entirely covers the franchise tag for AJ Green or year 1 of his new deal. Or that could be viewed as money that could do a Mixon extension plus another player without even touching our current available cap.

I would much prefer to get a draft pick for him, but The Family played this almost as poorly as they could. If the Bengals end up having to cut Dalton out right, that's their fault, not mine.
