Unfortunately, Mike held out for a trade that wasn't coming, and now that $18 mil is less valuable (from a roster standpoint) than it was in March. We could still use it towards a Mixon extension and/or June cuts though, and that's what we should (and probably will) do.
Right now, I believe there's a game of chicken going on between Mike Brown, the Jags and probably the Pats. Those teams likely don't want to part with a pick nor do they want to pay Andy $18 million, so they're waiting it out. That said, Mike has incrediblestubbornness "patience" and no dire need to rush yet, at least until training camp nears.
It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out, but I wish Mike would just do the right thing and stop overvaluing Dalton (like he did with McCarron). It's obvious that Dalton is likely out, so we need to get a veteran in there immediately and start focusing on Mixon's extension and moving forward with Burrow.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
