Is Dalton a Patriot?

1. A small window by Minshew vs large window by Dalton (overall winning record, lead team to 5 playoffs, solid QB, still young for a QB etc)
2. If Jacksonville feels they have the pieces to compete they might want a veteran to be able to step in if Minshew struggles or gets hurt
3.  Dalton's greatest success as a QB was under Gruden.

I guess it depends on what you think his greatest success was...he was the best in the 2015 season before his injury and that was with Hue as the OC.

I'm not saying Minshew is untouchable, and if we cut Dalton I can see them grabbing him off the scrap-heap.  I'm just saying Gruden bringing in a QB who he hasn't coached since 2013 and who hasn't had a winning season since 2015 is a hard sell seeing how happy they were to get Foles and Bortles out of town.

But yes, if/when Dalton is cut and he goes from "trade for a plug in starter" to "scrapheap system vet for cheap" I could see them grabbing him.
