The point is the market is not there for AD to "cash in" on. That 17 mil is more likely more than he will make over the next 4 years, if he is still even on a team. Back up spot starter is about all he will be. 

Sounds ridiculous now hunh?

The market's not there now, but if a few QB's drop before the season starts, there could be (albeit not at $17 million - that year of his contract wasn't going to get played out anywhere unless the Bengals ate part of it).  No reason for Dalton or the Bengals to commit to anything until things have taken their course.  It's not impossible that Dalton doesn't still come back for back-up money if there aren't any takers.  Until his house is on the market, I wouldn't rule anything out. ... and who would you rather have as backup/mentor to Burrow - Dalton or Finley?
