Should the Bengals opt out? Seems like a bit of a jerk move after an ACL/MCL injury, but..
As I understand it, the Bengals could opt out of the contract, would eat 2/3 of the $5M signing bonus, and the move would save just over $6m against the cap (there may be an injury settlement as well). I was a big fan of the signing when it happened, but between the ACL/MCL, chronic back injuries, and being 30 next year, the upside is shrinking. It would put us in a very needy RT position, but aren't we already there?
