But...I wonder IF the Bengals feel the same way. The really expensive years of Daltons contract are coming up too and if they go to McCarron...they could likely save $4-6 million a year.

Really expensive years? $15.7m, $16.3m, $16.2m, $17.7m are his cap his for this year and the next three years. That is a STEAL today.

McCarron has this year and next year under team control, and then he'll need a new contract. Keep in mind MIKE GLENNON just got $15m/yr, Carr just got $25m/yr, Luck got $24.6m/yr. Kirk Cousins is making $24m this year.

In fact, there are currently 19 QBs making more yearly than Andy Dalton. That is a huge number when you figure Goff, Wentz, Winston, Bortles, Watson, Mariota, Petty/Hackenburg, Siemian/Lynch, and Prescott are all on their rookie deals still.

So 19 make more than Dalton, 9 are still on their rookie contracts. That means there are (by my count, could be off by one or two) only 3 starting QBs who aren't on a rookie contract and make less than Dalton. Tyrod Taylor, Mike Glennon, and Bryan Hoyer.

Meanwhile say McCarron starts in 2018, and he does well. You then have to shell out a $20m+/yr (of which there's currently 14) deal to him, which means any money you MIGHT save in 2018 would instantly be wiped away, and then you'd still have a lesser QB.

That's math and stats.
