Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Bengals did try to trade him last year. The season was over, Burrow/Tua was within our sights with a chance to move on without the drama. It's quite possible he was dangled out there last year and there were no bites for the price. In management's defense, it would be pretty hard to trade a QB who is struggling on a bad team for what they wanted. I don't think you want to announce that you're dangling your starting QB for a 2nd round pick and getting no bites however. Might as well try again next season.
Dalton had a nice run while it lasted. Most don't make it as far as he did for as long as he did.
