Lets say the Cincinnati Bengals did want to deal Andy Dalton how would they go about doing it?
First the Bengals would have to decide what hes worth. Andy is a 30 year old veteran QB with seven seasons starting experience and has been healthy most of his career. In seven years, he has a over all winning record taking his team to the playoffs five times in a row before going one and done five times in a row... After his third and quickly followed by a fourth OC he has two losing seasons. Dalton's Contract might be the most enticing part of the deal. From what I understand Cincy has paid Andy all his guaranteed money so he is playing for incentives through 2020. With all that considered I'm arguing he is worth at least a first and a second before the draft and a first and two seconds after the draft.
A terrifying name also creeps in during an Andy Dalton trade hypothetical....Russell Bodine. I see three choices: Resign either McCarron or Bodine to have experience calling out protections, find and sign another veteran center in a offensive line talent starved league, or run with a rookie QB and center.
If I had the choice I would go with the safest course...I would draft a QB and a center but Dalton would be the starter in 2018. If the center was playing well recognizing the defensive schemes then they could fleece a team before the trade deadline.
