I expect the coaching changes to give Dalton a new lease on his Bengals life

Also, Dalton was due 13.9 this season with a chance at 3 mil more if he hit escalators, which I assume he did not hit.  So we're back to 11 mil.

You're not really counting the money that LA already paid Derek are you? Derek's contract was unique in that it was front loaded and Andy's is like most others back loaded. 

Do yourself a favor don't apply for any GM jobs, you cannot count sunk cost.
