Thus far, the trade market has been quiet and the Bengals are even considering keeping Dalton as a veteran backup and mentor for their quarterback selection, which is expected to be Burrow.
It would be similar to when they selected Carson Palmer first overall in 2003 and had Jon Kitna as a mentor. The difference would be Burrow would play as a rookie while Palmer did not.
Recent reports suggest teams don’t want to trade for Dalton in the final year of his contract and pay him $17 million in 2020.
The Jaguars seem content with Gardner Minshew and just unloaded a less reliable starter in Nick Foles in a trade with the Chicago Bears. They already carry more than $18 million in dead money for Foles.
The Patriots make a ton of sense because they have Brian Hoyer and Jarrett Stidham at quarterback after losing Tom Brady to free agency. They could draft one but if they don’t, Dalton would be the perfect fit. He is reliable and takes care of the ball. He could keep the Patriots competitive in a wide open AFC East division.
The Chargers already have a veteran in Tyrod Taylor, and are expected to select a quarterback in the draft to develop, so acquiring Dalton doesn’t make much sense.
If there are two best bets, it would be that either he stays in Cincinnati (+250) or lands with the Patriots after the draft (+750).
