Releasing Dalton is the most obvious cut of the offseason in the entire league. He briefly lost his starting job last season and wasn’t good when he was playing. Economics play a huge part. Dalton is scheduled to count $17 million against the salary cap. The Bengals would clear $17 million by cutting him. More importantly, they have the No. 1 overall draft pick and presumably will take LSU quarterback Joe Burrow.
