While it probably was not Zac's fault or at least not all his fault, if that was the route he wanted to go and knowing Dalton wasn't the QB going forward it should have been done sooner so they could get something for Dalton. I don't have the link anymore, but it was said the Bears were willing to trade for him. The #1OA PLUS additional draft picks PLUS the cap savings is what a competent front office would have pulled off. Instead we waited way too long to make the announcement preventing a real chance of a trade. Then everyone knew they were drafting Burrow so no one needed to trade for Dalton. The front office completely misplayed the entire thing.
Nobody wanted the contract including us. Today Dalton isn't worth 18 million
