NE is the most likely team to trade with all there picks but I read that they only want him if he is cut because they couldn’t afford his salary.

Bengals DONT WANT to keep his salary on the books but they have just enough to keep him and sign draft picks right now. If they free up that space they could work on Mixons extension or sign more FA

NE is still the most likely place but it has nothing or very little to do with Dalton's salary.  The Bengals gave Dalton permission to seek out a trade.  That means that his agent can talk to any team and ask what needs to get done to facilitate the trade.  Let's say Dalton's agent goes to Billicheat and asks.  Bill says well, we will give the Bengals a 4th round pick but Dalton needs to take a contract for 3 years at $10m per year.  Now, there 2 options on the table.  Will the Bengals take a 4th?  Will Dalton and his agent take the new deal in the new contract?  There are 3 parties involved.  Something like this could still happen on draft day, most likely going in to day 3.
