It really is a good question. With Dalton, I think the 2 things that help his trade market are that he's only due $17.7m next year and he only has 1 year left on his deal. So even if you trade a 2nd or 3rd for him, he's not busting your cap and you're only tied to him for 1 season. If he performs well, they can talk extension/new deal, if it doesn't go as planned you only lost a draft pick. I think teams may consider that a better option than paying $25m+ a year for 4+ years. I could be completely wrong, but that's how I'm looking at it.
