FWIW, I honestly don't see the Bengals giving up the draft equity that is being bartered around for a FA OT.  I think they are happy with WIlliams at LT, Hart at RT, and Johnson as a backup.  It is the guard position that still has me intrigued about guys like Thuney.

The salary for players with more than 4 accrued years becomes fully guaranteed if they are on the roster the first week of the regular season.  They could technically bring Dre and Dalton into camp and cut them before week 1, but that would be risky as they could get injured and they would not be able to cut them.
