I don't think it says as much about the player or his value around the league as it does about what the Bengals asking price was.
If it was too step it makes sense there would be no bites at the moment. They obviously wanted more than the Bears were willing to give up which caused them to roll to Foles because the Jags were more desperate to move his salary. Whether its right or wrong the Bengals seem content to play the long game. Every year a starting QB goes down. If its a contender or a team that thinks it can compete with a competent starter than the Bengals will get a windfall for him.
If not you have an above average back up in case Burrow falters. Then again its only March so we just have to wait and see.
