I don’t think he’s worth that price for the risk that comes with him though. That said, I’m not sure it makes sense for them cap wise to move him before the draft anyway trade or cut. Might end up giving a 2023 pick for him after June 1.
He doesnt have serious red flags. This has been very overblown, but surely the Bengals are using it as leverage. I am actually more concerned about things that are not really public than what is generally known.
The reason they will deal him before June 1, like they are all the players they are dumping, is that they want to pay the bill now. Any cuts/trades after June 1 moves dead money to 2023. Jerry wants a clean slate and over 75M in cap availability.
