Another Twitter theory. I know they can't announce any deals right now anyway, but..
This move would make sense for both teams in my opinion. Pats don't want to pay Thuney. They can get a G/T, WR, or LB in the first round, then hit their other needs in the 3rd and later rounds. Dalton is a good bridge QB, with good upside for the next 5 years.
Bengals obviously fill a hole at guard, allowing them to focus on defense in the draft.
