Why not keep Andy as a backup?

I don't think Dalton would be teaching Burrow much anyways. 

If we want a vet QB we can get one for much cheaper than Dalton.

Believe me, I'm not a fan of it, but it is what it is. I like Andy Dalton a lot. He has his shortcomings for sure, but I feel better coaching and a change of scenery could help him get back to 2011-2016 form. While he has contributed plenty to some of the team's failures in the playoffs and recent years, the track record of our owner/GM and front office haven't been successful regardless of QB, coach, or anything else.

However, it is time to move on for the Bengals and for Dalton. His cap hit could be put to much better use improving multiple areas. If a vet QB is a must, you're a 100% right that we can bring one for a fraction of Dalton's cap number. More than likely they'd also be better than Finley.
