That's pretty much how I've been seeing this all along too. The Jags are an unlikely landing spot.
However, and maybe this is wishful thinking on my part, maybe it was driven by Jay Gruden being their new OC. Maybe we didn't lower our price to the 4th rounder Chicago gave to Jax because we knew Jax was interested. Maybe Jax needs to trade Ngakoue before they can add Dalton (they ate a lot of Foles's salary after all).
Of course, they wouldn't give up much more for Dalton than they got in the Foles trade, which apparently wouldn't be enough for us. There was a rumor (from back during the season, and it was probably more speculation on the part of a beat reporter) that they might want to trade either Andrew Norwell or Brandon Linder, both of whom would be an upgrade at guard for us. Norwell is from Cincy. I'm wondering about Dalton for either one of those guys plus some sort of swap of day 3 picks.
