Dalton, the second-highest passer in franchise history who is tied for the Bengals’ record for touchdown passes (197), will have a viable trade market, several GMs said, and should land a second-round pick in return.”
The fact that the Bengals and Dalton are at odds doesn’t come as a shock.
However, the fact that Dalton believes a trade is forthcoming, makes it seem like the Bengals were listening to offers and if they were doing for Dalton, it probably means others are on the blocks as well.
Also the fact that multiple GM's told Jason they would trade a 2nd rounder for Dalton makes it hard to believe they wouldn't take the deal.
It also means that if Finley doesn't play well, our 1st pick is probably a QB.
La Canfora also reported that the Bucs may be the best option to land Dalton.
It's at least promising news that the Bengals did at least do the due diligence on a potential Dalton trade.
I am not sure his value, probably round 2 is fair. Also not sure if he has to approve the team he is traded. But, he is gone, question is where we he land?
Bucs - Definitely possible
Bears - If Trubisky plays the way he has played in 2019, yep
Wild Card teams are team where starting QB may suddenly retire
Brady
Rivers
Ben R. (nto likely they trade within division, but may)
How about teams with sophomore or Junior slump?
Mayfield
Mariota
I see a market for any team with a good to strong OL and good defense or a team like the Pats who need a 1 year stop gap to develop their future (if Brady retires of course)
I am so ready for 2024 season. I love pro football and hoping for a great Bengals year. Regardless, always remember it is a game and entertainment.
