Personally I don't see more than a third.  His salary next year ($17.5 M) is very reasonable for a starting QB, but he just has that one year left under contract.  Teams won't give up as much for a QB that could be gone the next year.  

But you never know.  People like to bring up the fact that Flacco, who has been consistently worse than Dalton for several straight years, was worth a fourth, but everyone said they were crazy to do that.  While I don't think that is a good case to use a market indicator, it does show that all it takes is one team putting a high value on him.

I still think the Bengals would consider bringing him back as the starter next year if Finley really bombs.  No other team would probably consider that, but after seeing the Bengals give Marvin a new deal after the '17 season I consider anything possible.

The new team would have two years of control by using the tag on him if necessary. That being said It would still be hard to get more than a third rounder in exchange. His film is out there.
