A.J. Green should not get any less than Dalton.

A solid job, yes. But Andy Dalton is an average QB playing with a damn good defense and the 2nd best receiver in the league. Let's not act like he's carrying that team. That team is carrying him. He's averaging Drew Brees money. Andy. Freaking. Dalton.

What's the alternative, letting him go and drafting another rookie quarterback and pinning their hopes on finding an upgrade?

The problem with drafting a new QB is they usually need time to develop. Granted we've seen Russell Wilson step in and play at an elite level and win a Super Bowl in his second season, but he's the exception I the norm. But the risk the Bengals take by moving on is they might end up with a QB that's no better than Dalton, if they're lucky they might find an upgrade, but it's a risky business for a team in their position to be swapping and changing QBs.

I guess they can wait and see what happens, but ultimately they have a solid quarterback under center and there would be a lot of teams in this league that would snap their hand off for a quarterback like Dalton (eg Jags, Titans, Texans, Bills, Jets, Raiders, Browns, Vikings, Bucs).

For me, they made the right decision in keeping hold of Dalton. He might not be carrying the team, but he's certainly a good enough QB to help them win games and get to the play offs on a regular basis.

With the way the contract is structured, it seems like a fair deal for the Bengals.

Yea it seems ok for Cinci.

[SmootsDaddy89]

NFL.com has an article about richest contracts contract for 2014. Gotta say Andy's wasn't the worst, I forgot how much money Eli Manning was making throwing picks...

Just because of his hardware. In today's NFL Trent Dilfer would've gotten $90 million the day after they won the Super Bowl.

To get a glimpse of Kelvin Benjamin.

20 something million is all he's gonna see cuz that's all that's guaranteed. He will have to earn the other 90+ million through milestones and achievements that likely won't happen. Very team friendly deal as it appears now.
