And Daniel Jones just isn't interesting to me.
Raekwon was virtually a dud.
Hendrickson would obviously be awesome. He's one of the few older vet types I'd support paying for. Thing is, I've read that CIN would want more along the lines of a 1st or multiple day-2 picks, not just a single 3rd-rounder. And that would be on top of the $35m salary he'll want.

I want a winning lottery ticket, I doubt the Bengals or I get what we want. Further, the articles I've read indicate they're looking for a low 2 to a high 3 to get rid of Trey, to me that's pick 80 for the Colts. Considering the Colts would be paying draft capital for the right to pay a 30 year old $35m+ AAV, I think the 80th pick is more than fair.
As for Fields, I truly believe he is the best combination of talent, system fit, and cost available to create a QB competition with AR this offseason. I'm really hoping Ballard sees it that way as well.
