No time to read through 17 pages of opinions, so apologies if these are re-tread thoughts.
I would be completely fine with keeping Andy here as a backup. And although I understand that almost 18 million is a huge price for a backup, if we don’t end up spending then what’s the worry? I don’t have to pay it.
Keep him around, and at worst, we overpay someone who will be a good mentor for Joe Burrow, and an amazing insurance policy if Burrow were to have to miss any time. We’d have the best backup QB in the league. Also, when a starter inevitably does go down, you could use him as trade bait and get a hell of a lot more for him than you would right now.
