I think they will go with Finley and Dolegala.
Foles was given a 4yr $88million contract only last March. there is no way we would look at someone on that kind of money expecially as a back up
Would they really want to go into a season with 3 (terrible) NFL starts between 3 QBs? It seems unlikely.
An experienced QB to mentor the no.1 pick would be ideal.
They could keep him a year and cut him in 2021.
But this trade is primarily about gaining an extra second round pick and Foles, who the Bengals could use, would be a throw-in.
There would be a $12.5m cap hit in 2021 but it's more about the guaranteed money and in exchange for one year of paying him big money (when we wouldn't be expecting to compete) you'd be gaining a cost controlled second rounder for four years who'd be entering their prime as the Bengals enter their window.
