Why not keep Andy as a backup?

I guess we could wait until during the season to trade Dalton and resign Aj and Mixon. But their price tags will increase as they prove their worth. If this scenario works out, id be happy. we would need to restructure Andys contract in order to fill out our training camp roster though. Or cut some players that are valuable to our depth. After we trade Dalton during the season there may not be any good vet qbs available.

Or maybe you want to play out Mixon and Ajs contracts and sign them after the season and after Daltons contract expires. This is risky, but if we have a good season they will want to come back—but we could lose out to a higher bidder. Also, Mixon wants a new deal now, as he is underpaid. Mixon is more valuable than Dalton.

Just looking at things realistically... we likely need to resign Mixon before the season. This will increase his cap hit. This means Dalton likely needs to be moved. Maybe they can do something to lessen Ajs cap hit this year to make room for Mixon.

There’s just so many variables it makes sense to just watch it play out. Over-analyzing it aint worth the time. It seems likely Dalton needs to be moved, but we’ll see.
