Dalton was going to be cut. Period. It was a matter of when, not if.

I'd also point out that it's incredibly rare that a longtime starter would take a massive paycut to stay on the team as a clear backup.

These are things that just don't happen. It's not reality.

If this is true the team massively misplayed this entire situation. They should have released at the start of free agency and applied the cap savings to free agency.

But, if Andy is the great guy and team player people say he is why wouldn’t he do the home town discount deal?

Also, you’re claiming he would be the clear back up? My question is why? Why is he the clear back up? His experience in the system and with the roster giving him an advantage combined with his talent, why is he clearly the back up? And why isn’t he willing to bet on himself in Cincinnati?

I gotta go for now. Later.
