Clearly Dalton should be traded. But I am talking abvout the people saying we should get rid of Kirkpatrick, Dunlap, Atkins, Bernard, and Glenn.
Some of those guys may be overpaid, but not by a lot when you look at replacing with equal value on the free agent market. And some people act like every free agent signing is a guaranteed success when the truth is many of them flop with their new team.
You all know I think the Bengals need to be more active in free agency. I just think it is a bad idea to cut a bunch of players and try to replace them with free agents. It doesn't do you much good to save 25% on salary if you miss on 25% of your free agent signings. Free agents are not as big of a gamble as draft picks but all Bengal fans know how easy it is for an expensive free agent to be a bust.
