Timing is everything in life and while they haven't found the right times yet an early season injury could yield a really good haul for a QB that has a very tradeable mid year contract to the receiving team. With potentially no offseason program and a very abbreviated training camp the risk of injuries will be high which would make me want to have an asset like Dalton to capitalize on such an injury.
2 Million isn't enough for me to cut a starting caliber QB yet. Now if we get down the road and need it for an extension or something you can look at it. I could also see someone like Shawn Williams being traded for a mid to late pick closer to the draft with the arrival of Bell.
I have this idea, no evidence to support it, just a hunch. The idea is that perhaps during the draft, at least a team or two might miss out on a QB that they were looking at, and with Andy being a quality starting QB, the opportunity to gain a valuable pick for him will present itself.
You could be onto something with your Shawn Williams idea. However, in the 3-4 hybrid, the "Star" or LB/Safety hybrid position is an important one. I would think that a 3 Safety look would be most effective against teams that run the ball effectively and have mobile/running QBs. (Ravens for example)
Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
