But I look at a guy that took over a team that quitter quit on and everyone expects to go 0-16 and make 5 straight playoff appearances. I will always wonder about that 2015 team, much like our 2005 team. It isn't the money, but the lack of opportunity. It is a VERY odd time for FA QBs. You have two #1 OVERALL draft picks that were released with zero compensation. You have another first rounder (Mariotta) looking for a starting gig. It is just the perfect storm for him.
I appreciate the way the guy played, carried himself, and represented his community. I would just like to see him get a shot somewhere else.
I disagree about broadcasting...Andy is a bit monotone and bland in his speaking ability, but that could just be what he shows the media.
I appreciate AD as well. He became a Bengal board whipping boy, some deserved and some personal attacks absurd.
As far as cap, what will Bengals do with all of their workout bonuses? A technicality, but not one player will earn it. That is millions of dollars in cap space the team could use if they choose, or thay may pay the workout bonuses or a portion of it. Bengals have 2.7 million in workout bonuses.
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
