The Bengals have absolutely nothing to lose by keeping the Borrow pick and very little to gain by trading the pick as long as they stay on course, ugrading the oline, upgrading the defense via FA and making the right picks in the draft. For once I like to think that this team is on track to do things right. They still have next years draft and potential FAs to sign and the ability to drop dead weight.
The only downside I can see happening is the same downside every team is potentially facing of economic collapse, a global depression and loss of fan bases extreme enough to devistate the league as a whole. That's a very real possibility if we do end up with complete economic collapse and if it does occur I don't think football will really matter to enough people to sustain the multi million dollar salaries.
IF everything is predicated on a global depression with millions of ordinary citizens losing everything there just won't be many people spending enough money to support the multi million dollar salaries. You'll see football players working for peanuts because there just won't be enough people willing to starve their own families to ensure player X gets paid a gazillion bucks. If it comes down to your family eating or Joe Borrow being a Bengal which one are you gonna pick? I'm picking my family first long before any football player..
