They share some similarities on the market: Same age as Dalton, also has only one year left on deal, and his contract is in the same ball-park (20 mil vs 17.5)

Obviously a lot more goes into a trade, like skillset and fit, but I have a feeling the market for QB's has dried up. At least to the point where you'll see any trades of note.

While in same draft class and close in age, far different medical history. Cam has not looked good since his second shoulder surgery. A team can't count on him to beat others with his feet anymore as his body has gone through hell.

Cam is not a true pocket passer, he is (was) and elite athlete that caused defenses to always account for his straight RB plays or scrambles. 

I think Cam will get a job, but I see him more like a Robert Griffin III now at this stage of his career. A very good back up, but a risk to be a starting QB.
