None of the examples I can remember (Schaub, Kolb, Feeley) involved giving up a first round pick.

Is there one I have forgotten about?

I don't know if there's an example.

But I do know that there aren't enough QB's to go around.

And AJ has something most of any other back ups in this position don't--
post season game time experience.

There's a lot at play here. The Bengals have kinda put themselves in a hard spot because either way AJ is gone next year. That will be used as leverage against them. Still, they do have some wiggle room against a team like Cleveland. Cleveland needs AJ or Garropolo. I guess there are other QB's that may hit the market (Cousins?), but with what Cleveland is trying to do in rebuilding, I don't see how they don't go after either of these two back ups. They will leverage what they can against either team and we all know Belechick is as savvy as they come and he will definitely consider a second for JG. It's gonna be interesting. But I'm guessing Hugh prefers AJ.
