Bengals @ Bills predictions

[Luvnit2]

Bengals play better, but poor OL play leads to turnovers and a loss.

Bills 23
Bengals 20

Bengals get one step closer to trading Dalton and AJ (once he is healthy) prior to the trade deadline. All is takes is a true contender's #! QB going down and Bengals starting 0-6 or 1-5

Teams That would trade for AD if QB went down:

Pats
KC (I know it sound crazy but Chiefs have pieces to win it all and AD could be traded by then in off season).
Rams (Taylor connection)
Saints - If they can stay in contention and Bridgewater is average)

A trade for AD in 2019 works for a lot of teams, he has a friendly contract and they can trade him in off season to get back some of the compensation they gave the Bengals

Bengals motivation -
1. Draft Herber or Tua if pick is top 2 which it can easily be if we trade AD and start 1-5 or 0-6
2. Get rid of some 2019 cap and salary to use in 2020 and beyond
3. If team starts 1-5 or worse, they need a rebuild so why not start gutting the team prior to the 2019 trade deadline starting with AD

I like AD and always have, but if we are years away, why not get some value for him and draft a QB that will be cap friendly for 4 years minimum.
