If we cut Dalton's salary for this year there are no great free agents left to spend it on, and as Bfine has pointed out we would still be paying less for Dalton and Burrow than many teams are paying for their top 2 QBs.

Not that long ago Joe Flacco was making 27 million a year for the Ravens, yes 1 QB making as much as our 2 combined. Back then, we also had a lot less salary cap.
