Wraith Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Great, now get Burfict done and I will be a happy fan. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Posted August 4, 2014 Geoff Hobson @GeoffHobsonCin · 4mDalton deal apparently cap friendly for Green, Tez and friendsGeoff Hobson @GeoffHobsonCin · 9mDalton deal biggest in Bengals history when it comes down to avg per Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Thank you, thank you, thank you.I'm looking forward to the whole breakdown, but happy we can now move on.Congrats to all in getting this done !!! Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Posted August 4, 2014 Per Hobs, this deal makes Dalton a Bengal through the 2020 season./>http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/Dalton-inked-through-20/7711fbb4-21f7-4203-a7be-41cd0d3ab952So it's actually a 7-year deal, or about $16.4 million/year. Obviously the structure is everything but that's a bargain for a stating QB. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 When they extended defensive linemen Geon Atkins and Carlos Dunlap with mega deals last preseason, they finished the season as the third highest spending team in the league.Cheap ass Mike Brown... People can say what they want, but this deal and others have all but removed that thought process. Quote
GapControl Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Huge news. So much for the future is AJ McCarron. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 So much for the future is AJ McCarron.Oh yeah, I wonder if he will still earn the starter's spot this season ?? Comical !!! Quote
Scottishbengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 So, I wonder how that will shake down with Campbell and McCarron - do you think the Bengals will go with 3 qb's on the roster or move AJ to the practice squad and risk losing the player to another team (still spitting about Fragel being nabbed by Cleveland) ???As Wraith said I'm glad the deal is done and we can move onto other players. Still undecided about Dalton as THE quarterback to take the Bengals over the hump but whatever I think don't count for diddly, ..the deal's done he's the guy, that's that.Now lets give Burfict a fair offer and get him tied up for a long time Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Posted August 4, 2014 Huge news. So much for the future is AJ McCarron.I'd say hold your horses a bit. If the deal is structured at all like Kaepernick's, the Bengals may be able to bail early if Dalton can't take the next step.My bet is Andy gets this year and 2015. If he hasn't popped his postseason cherry by then, change will come. Quote
volcom69 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Wow crazy deal, still waiting to see how it is played out. Just so Green, Burfict can get done as well, and some other guys. Quote
Wraith Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 My bet is that they will stash McCarron on the Season Ending PUP List to protect him and we will go with Dalton and Campbell for this season, with McCarron being the backup for next. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 I see an injury happening to McCarron that allows them to put him on season ending IR. If not, I think they take their chances with someone picking him off the PS.They can find another 5th round backup talent next year if that happens. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Army, Great Minds think alike.I saw that.I keep seeing the talk about his elbow injury he currently has.I see that condition deteriorating rapidly. Quote
HoosierCat Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Posted August 4, 2014 Oh, and I would just like to remind everyone that when it comes to Bengals news, never pay any attention to Jason LaCanfora. :lmao: Quote
Wraith Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 I think that it will be the Shoulder Injury and I am not a doctor but I don't think it will respond to treatment this year..... Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 There has been no progress and no movement, according to sources, and while owner Mike Brown has made mention of the desire to get something done, using Colin Kaepernick's deal as a barometer of sorts, the reality is the sides aren't close.This coming from an article written 5 days ago and reports now saying the deal was pretty much finished 2 weeks ago, but needed finalizing.Yet another reason I hate to hang my hat on most things I read about contracts and extensions. Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 I think that it will be the Shoulder Injury and I am not a doctor but I don't think it will respond to treatment this year.....Before it's all said and done ?? ---> Quote

HoosierCat Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Posted August 4, 2014 Ian Rapoport @RapSheet · 36mWill be curious to see final details of Andy Dalton’s contract. Early word was more fully guaranteed than Kaepernick’s $12.3M. Quote
volcom69 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Now I can listen to these guys on twitter about how the bengals will in QB purgatory lol Quote
ArmyBengal Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Now I can listen to these guys on twitter about how the bengals will in QB purgatory lolIf QB purgatory means being a team that is at least in contention on a consistent basis, what does that makes teams like Tennessee, Oakland, Houston, or Minnesota ?? There are more to add to that list, but I just find it humorous when people say that since Dalton "hasn't" won a playoff game, that he "can't" win a playoff game. Quote
volcom69 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Posted August 4, 2014 Man a lot of these fans are pissed this is crazy. Without even knowing how its structured this is crazy. I just want to know who everybody wants at QB. Oh the wanted Bridgewater, but yet nobody knows how he will do. Quote
