Andy Dalton is a Quitter

AD could have taken a paycut and extension to make his salary easier for a trade or mentor/wait it out next year. Again, AD will unlikely ever be a true starter in the NFL again. Just too many younger guys on the market right now that are equivalent. 

I am pretty sure the Bengals would have been fine to have him as the back up at a good price for the next 3-4 years. No other team values him as high.
This is not hate, as Fred likes to say, just keeping it real

The Bengals may have been good with that idea, but why would Andy want to stick around and hold a clipboard for the next 3-4 years, when he could control where he goes instead and at least try to land a starting job with somewhere else? It wouldn't make any sense from Andy's perspective...which is why I don't think that was ever a realistic option.
