There might have been a trade if the draft had gone differently.

You can claim you know as much as you like, but that does not make it true.

I was one of the MANY people around here who said it was highly unlikely that any team woudl trade for dalton because of his salary, but you are the only one obsessed with making yourself look better because of it.

Get over yourself.

Quote:There's no way we pay 18 million for a backup. On top of that Dalton is not getting traded. We will get nothing for him. Flacco had a similar age, salary, and regular season numbers compared with Dalton when he was traded; He was significantly better than Dalton in the playoffs with an 88 qb rating and Superbowl win, as opposed to Dalton's 58 qb rating and four straight playoff losses, and he got traded for a 4th rounder.

Dalton, coming of his worst season in the nfl where he finished last among starting qb's in qb rating at 78, will get absolutely zero in the trade market. I know some fans like to live in a fantasy world where Dalton gets the Bengals a third rounder, but that is not happening. We let him go and start Burrow.

Quote:Flacco had been much worse than Dalton for a long time before getting traded for a 4th round pick. Over his 4 previous seasons ('15-'18) Flacco had an 82.7 rating that ranked 29th out of 30 QBs with at least 1000 attempts. Plus Dalton will be 2 years younger than Flacco was when he was traded.

Dalton is worth a third rounder. Teams know that Dalton's problems last year were not due to age or injury.

I'm the one who claimed a long time ago that Dalton wasn't tradable and you were adamant we'd get at least a third round pick for him. Stop your nonsense. Your flip flopping is embarrassing. 

You only started to say he would be hard to trade recently when it obvious to everyone that he wasn't going to be traded. Way to change your prediction to try to look like you were right all a long.
