This move would make sense for both teams in my opinion. Pats don't want to pay Thuney. They can get a G/T, WR, or LB in the first round, then hit their other needs in the 3rd and later rounds. Dalton is a good bridge QB, with good upside for the next 5 years.
Bengals obviously fill a hole at guard, allowing them to focus on defense in the draft.

What if - follow me here, it’s a HUGE stretch - the #Bears didn’t trade for Dalton because there was already a deal in principle with #Patriots to trade Dalton for Thuney and they just had to wait for him to sign his tender. #Bengals pic.twitter.com/KJLySUp6U4

Of all the ideas floating around out there on this, this is the one I'd put my money on. Just seems to make the most sense...
