Dalton is better than Flacco and Denver took him as their starter.
There are lots of team that would love to have Andy. He is actually cheap for a starting QB.
Name the teams who would take Dalton as a long term starter for 2019 and moving forward? I can only think of 2 maybes and those are stretches due to probably having high draft picks in 2020: Denver & Miami.
Literally every other team in the entire NFL either has a starter who is better, younger and just as good, younger with a higher ceiling, or a high draft pick waiting in the wings that is developing and already in the roster (Haskins, for example).
Just because the player is a backup doesn't mean Dalton is automatically better, or wanted, or that the starter won't be back and is better than Dalton. Do you think the Jags would take Dalton over Minshew? Hell fire no way. The Bucs would more than likely keep Winston over Dalton as well. Saints? No way they would take Dalton over Bridgewater. And on and on.
What teams would want Andy Dalton as a long term solution at QB right now and moving forward? Next to none.
