Why not keep Andy as a backup?

He's 23 and just served as a team leader during a championship run.  He was playing at a big time program and handled himself like a professional throughout it all.  Hell, the dude has a master's degree.  He's just entering the league at a different place in his life than other QBs and I think that will serve him well with or without a Dalton type as his backup.

We have a QB coach and a head coach who used to be a QB coach. I think they know how to teach Burrow what they need from him and how to run this offense. 

Back to my previous post. Andy's human. He has an ego. He used to be the starter. This was his team. It's not anymore. We don't want people in the locker room who aren't happy to be there.

I'm not saying Andy's a bad guy. Not at all. But he's only human. I think the Bengals are trying to help him preserve his dignity and trade him someplace where he'd have a chance to start.
