Packers with Flynn, Pats with Cassel (and I think Hoyer), Bradford two times come to mind quickly. Those teams turned around and drafted, new, younger backups to fill in behind starters. The entire point is receiving good value for an asset you don’t plan on using. The Bengals did not do this. The Pats did with Jimmy only after Brady won the power struggle and ownership accepted that he is going to be there for another 4-5 seasons.
Matt Flynn wasn't traded and Cassel was only after being tagged. We can still be like the Pats and tag McCarron; do you think we should?
