I don't know the guy that well. But if he's really good, I'd pay the 2nd and the financial compensation in a heartbeat.
He makes $9 million a year now and is holding out so the compensation would likely be $12+ million a year.
I don't see the Bengals doing that.
Joe Thomas is a guy we should try to trade for. The Browns seem to like to dump their veterans for picks.
