the jaguars have the money to sign him and are in need of a QB.  AD would be leaving one losing culture for another thats just as bad though

 

the patriots only have like 2 mil in cap space.  i wonder if signing as a backup on a good team would be more appealing than starting in Jacksonville lol

 i doubt AD would go there under those terms, if hes willing to sign as a backup he could go somewhere better

Giants 

Jets 

Browns

I could be wrong but I think every Bengals franchise guy since Anderson had atleast 1 good year somewhere else once they escaped. So did John Kitna who wasn’t a franchise guy but started there for 4 years I think. Dalton is solid. Better right now than some more decorated veterans who are still starting.

Minshew is no NFL starter if neither Dalton nor Cam sign there look for Jake Luton to be starting by mid season (Joshua Dobbs is god awful, I expect him to be let go if Dalton or Cam end up there).

Good veteran QB presence for the Giants with Eli gone.

I think the Giants are all in on Daniel Jones so I don't know if Dalton would sign to be a back up there? 

Personally I always thought Dalton was too sporadic in his play. He could at times look great but then look very pedestrian the next time out. 

 

[RollerColt]

He would do well for New England. Another off the wall place could be San Diego. Give Herbert a year or so to sit and be mentored.

True.... if Andy wants another starting gig then the Giants are not an option.... he could maybe warm the seat in LA for Herbert for a season. 

 

If he doesn’t get any nibbles as a starter the Giants would be better off with him rather than Colt McCoy.... although McCoy only costs the Giants  a buck and a half so Andy’s asking price would have to plummet.

 

He’s kinda in no man’s land right now.

He is kinda in no man's land.

 

I guess if I was him I wouldn't be worried about money.  Look for a decent team that will give him a shot as a starter. A pretty short list really.

Kinda shocking: Dalton has signed a 1 year deal with the Dallas Cowboys.

Good spot for him. He already has a home in Dallas so doesn’t even have to move.

Agreed

   I would be happy if I was Cooper Rush

Yep. A native Texan. Cowboys now have a good QB situation if Prescott contract talks go south or he has an injury.

  It might not be since he and Rush signed only 1 year contracts

Dalton $7m makes Brissetts $8.8m not seem as bad for our backup.

 

I know there is a lot more Cap dedicated to him, but at this point the only number that matters is that $8.8m.

[BloodyChamp]

He’s better than Dak and I was a huge Dak fan. Dak is still good. I don’t know if anybody remembers that 1 game here where he ran up the middle for a TD and got beheaded. We basically concluded then that Dak was tough and still wanted to win...he just wasn’t good X and Os wise. Anyway the Cowboys have 2 good quarterbacks. If motivated again McCarthy is a good coach. We’ll just see.

[Coltsman1788]

Good spot for Dalton and a nice signing by the Cowboys.

Evidently it don't matter to Ballard.
