Andy Dalton ain't worth a dime

Teams know that we're probably going to cut Dalton if we can't trade him, so why not wait? That's what I think a lot of teams are doing. They might value the draft pick Brown is wanting over the ~13 mil extra they would have to spend if they sign him off the street. Teams might be waiting until after the draft to see if they can draft Tau, or Herbert. Maybe they want to take a chance on someone like Love, Fromm, or Eason. To act like Dalton isn't worth anything or doesn't have any trade value before the draft happens is silly and jumping to conclusions. There's still QBs on the market and there's still a draft coming up. A lot can happen in the next couple of months.

I don't believe there's anyone is going to sign Dalton for an extra $13M over his current contract if he's cut. Mostly likely scenario is that he'll be signed for veteran backup money if he's cut. Teams save in two ways, don't have to spend a draft pick and get a cheaper price tag.
