Plus in the Bengals' current position- rebuilding rather than contending - I'd rather take the ascending player over the descending one.
You make good points. But, you seem to be nothing at all for FA? And, the Bengals are trying to make their #1 QB feel at ease that they will protect their investment; and, the Bengals are going through a horrible PR problem nationally as everyone knows. With Dalton Traded, Cordy Traded or waived, and Dre Traded or waived, the Bengals will have about 80Mill to spend. You can't just supplement this team with 7 Draft picks. They will have to fork out some money on a proven FA OLineman and/or LB or CB in order to get this team going in the right direction.
For the money, I hope we can pull away Whit back to us again from the Rams who will only have 15 Mill to spend in FA. There's no one I trust more than him to be a Leader and mentor for Jonah and a Rookie QB. After a 2 year contract, move him directly over to be a coach if he desires to go that direction.
