He makes less than $750K in 2017, we can also 1st round tender him for 3 million in 2018 so less than 2 million a year for a solid NFL backup minimum and could potentially be as good or better than guys that will be paid a lot more in the 2017 draft. The worst case scenario is we keep him in 2017 and let him go into FA in 2018 where very likely he signs for 10 million a year plus meaning 3rd round compensation. I understand he may not play one snap sitting the bench, but he also may be needed to bail us out in the event AD is injured.

Who do we trust on the roster right now other than AJM if Dalton is injured? I say no one which makes him more valuable than some want to admit. AJM played very well against a Denver defense on the road loaded with great pass rushers back in 2015 subbing for AD so he has shown he can do well against defenses albeit limited opportunity to show and thus prove it.

As far as the backup QB goes, look up Driscoll's college career.  The Bengals felt strongly enough about him to keep him on the roster the entire season.  He was able to learn the offense last year, and will get more experience this year as a part of our OTAs.  

I'm not saying he is McCarron, but he also never had the supporting offensive cast that McCarron did, either.  I like the guy.  

True, Njoku, Cam Robinson, and McCafferty may all be gone at #33, but someone of Pro Bowl Caliber talent will be sitting there...I guarantee it.  And that player contributing is worth much more than AJM on the bench.
