As they would say we are not in the business of making other teams better.

As much shit as I have given Dalton these last few years doesn’t change the fact he is an average starting NFL QB. There are not many of them and they are valuable. He is healthy with no long term health concerns.

We are more than likely looking at a shortened offseason. Dalton started his career here bailing us out of a strike shortened offseason to make the playoffs.

He was granted permission to seek a trade months ago. Nothing yet. If nothing comes to fruition he is established here and has started a family here. I know he wants to be a starter but multi million dollar clip board holder jobs are hard to come by. I don’t think he would force his way out.

I would love to use the money on more free agents or extensions. But I don’t want to cut a player as valuable as a starting QB.

This post is awesome! Your logic is right up there with Spock. Keeping Andy Dalton might be the plan all along even as a backup to Joe Burrow. I may have been wrong and perhaps the Front Office DOES see a parallel between Jon Kitna and Carson Palmer. It’s also possible Zac Taylor wants Joe Burrow to sit a year like Carson Palmer did while the Bengals figure out the offensive line scheme and which personnel fit within it. Maybe the Bengals are taking a long view and consider 2020 a transitional year.
