We know Dalton wasn't given heads up for his agent to, but again only one team (Bears) really had a need that is a contender this season and we don't know how their organization actually feels about their QB long term (we know what they should think). I'd say the team feels they can get better compensation in the off season when as many as 8 teams will be in the market for a QB.
The contender thing is not important. Maybe Miami calls. Do you think his agent doesn't call Miami? Do you think he wants to go to a contender? No he wants to go where he can play.
Miami has the capital as well. Sure they are looking at drafting a QB. However Dalton for a 2nd or possibly one of their 3 1st round picks would be a way to go. This way they get a QB they know can play and has been successful, instead of an unknown prospect and they can dedicate their picks to other positions of need.
Hell if Miami were able to get Dalton for one of their 2nd round picks, then that gives them 3 1st round picks to address the OLine and defense.
Now the question of whether or not MB takes the offer is irrelevant. However the agent could make the calls if they were aware of the benching earlier than they did.
