Personally I'm not sure if the Bears will be a good match based on the picks they have unless another team gets involved to push up Dalton's value. They have 2 2nds, no 3rd, and have a compensatory 4th. May have to get a player back or include a pick to make it work.

Yes, the idea of the Bears being a good trade partner seems a little suspect, in my mind as well.  As you alluded to, I would agree that maybe a 3rd team being involved is what it would take, in order for their to be enough trade collateral to go around.  I'm also a bit confused about Trubisky's status.  I kept seeing articles from last September that spoke about a lucrative extension for Trubisky, but Sportrac, who is generally very accurate, shows him still being on his rookie deal.

Edit: Maybe we're looking at this possibility all wrong? Maybe the Bengals don't care about getting a pick for Andy, to be able to use THIS year. Maybe they are willing to make a deal for a future pick, like a 2nd round selection next year's draft?
