If Dalton is willing to keep with the team-friendly deals and be a real "I love Cincy and want to be here forever" type, I don't see why Mike Brown would "kick a turd and make it stink" by letting him walk.  It's not like Dalton is going to cash-in and get a big FA deal and start somewhere else like Kirk Cousins or Nick Foles did and Gruden being fired in DC took that option off the table, as well.

Add in the fact that the only 2 other franchise QBs we've had in the MB era both demanded trades, and I wouldn't be so quick imagining a top 5 rookie QB airing it out to AJ and Boyd next year.  If Dalton wants to play for peanuts here why not just trade down and/or use the top pick(s) on the o-line since ours is so bad that the past 4 years have been a total waste of time?
