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

Appreciate the knowledge. Yeah, i'm not doing the trade if we are caring about the salaries.

I'm not opposed to looking for a replacement (an improvement) for Dalton, but if we're drafting a QB, why trade Dalton? As someone else pointed out somewhere, a stopgap QB is probably going to cost the same as Dalton does now. Doesn't make sense to me.
