So, with all these reports coming out that Burrow may want to hold out, that ownership is terrible, that Mike Brown doesn't want to win....do you think Mike Brown will take a proactive look at changing that tide?
Right now there are reports that New England "may" be interested in Dalton with a 3rd or 4th round pick, since they have two of each.
AJ Green, while older is a tremendous player and supposedly, Belichek is interested in him also. What about a potential trade that looks like this:
AJ Green (franchised) and Andy Dalton to NE for both 3rd round picks (condition of Green signing multi-year deal), and a conditional '21 pick that could be as high as a 3rd if Green stays healthy for the entire year and reaches 1000 yards receiving.
NE has (2) 3rd round picks this year and (2) 4th round picks this year.
Then Mike Brown breaks his traditional mold in FA and does the following:
FA MLB: Joe Schobert, CLE (really good, smart MLB and weakens CLE a little)
FA OLB: Nick Kwiatkoski, CHI
FA OL: Joe Thuney, NE
FA DT: D.J. Reader, HOU
FA TE: Tyler Eifert, CIN (1 year deal - incentive laden)
That shores up our biggest weaknesses in one off season, and while pricey, it is not going to be breaking the bank, especially losing Dalton's 17.7 million, and AJ Green's 15 million. Plus, your next franchise QB is working under the rookie contract for the next 5 years.
1st: QB Joe Burrow, LSU
1st: S Antoine Winfield Jr. , Minnesota (trade up 1 with Chiefs to lock in extra 5th year - Give up 6th)
3rd Pick (1): WR Antonio Gandy-Golden, Liberty
3rd Pick (2): TE Thaddeus Moss, LSU
3rd Pick (3): OL Solomon Kindley, Georgia
4th: LB Malik Harrison, OSU
5th: CB A.J. Green, Oklahoma State
7th: DE Chauncey Rivers, Mississippi State
