Keeping Dalton and his 17 mil salary when you can use that money to upgrade another much needed position makes little sense. I do think Dalton has some trade value, though it's not the 2nd round pick people like to think it is. I think they could get a 4th round pick for him and use it to draft a WR in this unbelievably deep WR draft class.

Here's the issue. We're all looking at this logically. $17.7m for a backup/mentor or even as a starter for 1 more year to allow your shiny new QB to ride the pine is ignorant. Whatever draft pick you get from trading Dalton is an asset. You get to dump his salary and try to improve through the draft all at once.

The biggest problem is the owner/President/GM does not think that way. What's worse is if we don't move on from Dalton, he'll get the lion's share of the hate when it will all be The Family's fault that he's still here.
