Everything is so fluid wityh QBs on the market or possibly on the market. I have never seen so many starting QBs possibltychanging teams.
I still think there's a good possibility he gets traded to the Colts, Bears, SD or even NE even if TB re-signs. The Bengals may eat some, half or most of his salary this year to make it happen and get a decent draft pick in return.
But, I like your idea strictly b/c the Bengals would be holding the cards for a desperate team who could be in the playoff hunt. Then, they could command a 2 or 3 pick. But, keeping that 17.5 Mill on the cap for a backup mentor is awfully pricey and wishful thinking don't ya think?
