Why not keep Andy as a backup?

If you wait until he is cut you get into a bidding war and will have to sign him for multiple years. Teams like the Chargers, Bucs, Colts, Jags, Raiders, Panthers, Dolphins, and Titans are QB needy teams.  I can see at least two or three of those teams in play for Dalton because of the poor QB class this year.

Jags will roll with Minshew. as he was the highest rated rookie last year

I'll go out on a limb and say the Titans are happy with having the #1 rated passer in the NFL and getting to the Championship game

Raiders QB was #9 in the NFL last year with a rating over 100

Panthers have Cam Newton under contract

Dolphins will draft Tua or Herbert and will use Fitzmagic as a mentor

Chargers will take whichever QB the Dolphins don't

Bears (you didn't mention them) have replaced their OC and have pledged allegiance to Mitch

The above teams can do all of that and not cost themselves a draft pick or Andy's salary

Colts and Bucs are possibilities. I can see the Bucs spending money on Bridgewater as he knows their division and is a Florida kid if they don't resign Winston. Colts would be wise to bring in Mariota to compete with Brisett; there's also the intrigue of bringing in the other Manning. And once again they can do this without losing a draft pick; except for the Manning scenarios.

What I would love to see is Eli go to SD
