2. Cincinnati Bengals
Andy Dalton‘s playoff record has been well documented, and it seems like every January we’re discussing why the team should move on from him. Despite what the numbers suggest, the contract Dalton signed last summer is actually a two-year deal with $17 million guaranteed. The rest largely consists of team options.
Cincinnati could try and make a run at Manning, who could pair up with A.J. Green, Jeremy Hill and Giovani Bernard, and help Marvin Lewis and the Bengals get over the playoff hump. Manning hasn’t been at his best when the postseason rolls around, but he’d give the team a better chance at getting past the first round than Dalton ever will.
