I expect the coaching changes to give Dalton a new lease on his Bengals life

Just like Taylor was for Mayfield this year

and Glennon was for MT last year in Chicago

Dalton 14 million can be spent on QUALITY young FA OL and LB.  

I suppose you could also go the way of KC last year, and draft your guy and then let him sit behind Dalton for a year

But, I think the team needs to make a heavy dent in key areas in FA - and Daltons $ would help do that 

Taylor made $16 mil this year.  Bridgewater's deal would have been worth $15 mil if he had hit all the performance bonuses.  Dalton will count for $16 mil against the cap next year.  

That's the issue with moving Dalton.  Any stopgap QB that you have any hope of winning 6+ games with is going to cost you as much as he does.  You downgrade the QB position and gain 1-2 draft picks.
