I get the rationale of wanting to have a veteran to mentor Burrow and/or have someone who can come in and HOPEFULLY not lose us games. But, is that really a need? With Taylor and Van Pelt being former NFL QBs, do we really need that mentor to be a current player?
I'm not saying we should NOT have a veteran QB, but, in terms of Burrow's growth, what difference would having Dalton as backup QB vs Finley really make?
Personally, as much as I like Dalton, I'd rather use his salary to fix other areas of need and if that means we roll with Finley as backup QB, so be it.
Finley doesn't have enough upside to keep in my opinion. Dolegala actually has a good arm, I would keep this guy around, cut Finley, trade Dalton and bring in a cheaper vet QB for competition at the backup spot and as insurance.
