Question is how much does someone want to give for a backup ( trade and/or salary ), including the Bengals. Now out of 32 teams, where would he least like to be? I don't know, can't read his mind, but I would have them as my bottom 5, for sure. keeping that around isn't a good thing.

From what I can find, Mariota is currently the highest paid backup QB in the league at 7.5 mil. 

I think I heard that he will be given a shot at the starter job.  But that means no other backup is making more than 7.5.  I actually thought it would be higher than that. 

So, basically, for somewhere in the neighborhood of five, six mil, a veteran backup can be gotten.  It may be a guy pushing 40 but the hope is he never ever sees the field.
