Via Sports Illustrated:
“That said, how this went should further color where the Jaguars and Patriots are at the position. Cincinnati shopped Dalton to both, and neither showed much interest. And that — after his release detached him from the $17 million base that made him impossible for the Bengals to keep — neither wound up with him, despite both teams offering a clearer path to playing time, and despite Dallas only having to pay $3 million in base to get him, should say what you need to know about where they stand. Viva la Gardner Minshew, and viva la Jarrett Stidham, apparently.”
It’s hard to blame either team for passing on a possible trade. Who in their right mind would pay $17 million to Dalton? Even the Cowboys, who overpaid him to be the backup in Dallas, didn’t go that high.
