Dalton for Ngakoue Pipe Dream?

BUT what works in our favor is that the two teams we're most likely to trade him to, the Pats and Jags, both have franchise players who could be traded (Thuney only rumored as such in NE but Ngakoue is on the block in Jax). So the next shoe(s) to drop in this quest are those teams trading those players to create cap room. No, we're not trading for Ngakoue. Just not a great fit here. But they both need to clear cap room for AD's salary... 17M is a lot.

Norwell and Linder were rumored to be on the block, and this rumor comes from Jason LaCanfora, as recently as early March. I just don't see why we can't trade Dalton for one of them and a pick (because QBs are more valuable than guards). If it creates a hole for the Jags, we can offer them B. Price for a late pick, or whatever. But we probably won't because we don't pay high dollar for interior lineman, I guess.

From what I keep seeing, the idea is that Jax will draft one of the QBs in the first(they have the draft capital to do it) and go with Mustache until the rookie is ready.   There isn't enough difference between AD and Minshew to want to take on Dalton's salary.  They could redo his deal, but all in all, it wouldn't make much sense to add Dalton to the Dalton-ish guy they already have who costs a lot less.
