Idk man, the good players tend to dry up pretty fast in the first week of free agency. You're right about cuts later on, but you're also right about us having poor depth behind Burrow. We need a veteran guy on the bench, and the longer we wait, the worse our options will be in that regard as well. In the end, I don't think one 3rd-4th round pick is that big of a deal, and it's fully possible we wind up holding on to Dalton for nothing.
And no, we definitely don't need Dalton backing up Burrow. No way, no how. The last thing we want is a salty Andy Dalton sitting on the bench, or a QB controversy if Burrow struggles. It's a new era, time to move on.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
