Keeping Dalton and his 17 mil salary when you can use that money to upgrade another much needed position makes little sense. I do think Dalton has some trade value, though it's not the 2nd round pick people like to think it is. I think they could get a 4th round pick for him and use it to draft a WR in this unbelievably deep WR draft class.
I don't believe that they would keep him at that cost. However, they could cut him and then resign him after he clears waivers. No one is going to waste a draft pick on him when they know the Bengals won't keep him at that price, especially with all the FA QB's hitting the market. I'd resign him as a backup/transitional QB for 2020. Maybe if he plays for real cheap, he could start in Tampa or Miami.
