Is Dalton a Patriot?

You can't tell me they are going to roll with Brian Hoyer and some kid I've never heard of. There's a deal in the works somewhere. 1 on 1 trade for a lineman? Belicheat, I would think, would realize if he puts a decent team around Dalton, he could win for them for a season or 2 while they work out getting their next franchise QB.

They are in complete cap hell.  They would need the Bengals to absorb some of his contract.  While we are wearing our tin foil hats:  The Bengals have passed on a few good Guards.  Do they have a deal in principle to absorb some of Dalton's salary (or maybe Dalton would just have to sign a new deal) for Thuney?  There is no way the Pats can afford Thuney right now with 13 draft picks to sign.  

I would die if the Bengals got local kid and #1 RG in the NFL for Dalton, picking up some of his salary, and our 5th round pick.  I would honestly buy back my season tickets if that happened.
