wppete Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Is Andy Dalton a free agent soon? Any chance he gets released by the Bengals? Sign Him OBD! 1
SaviorPeterman Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Dalton has had an up and down career but he's still 10x the QB TT is and would take him in a heartbeat. Can anybody even picture Taylor making that 4th down throw to win the game in Baltimore?

ddaryl Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the late TD pass against the Ravens Andy. We would like to part ways now, thanks but no thanks Edited January 2, 2018 by ddaryl 1
MrEpsYtown Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 He's under contract until 2021, but he has a 16 million dollar cap number next year. The Bengals could cut him and save about 14 million in cap, with just 2 million in dead money. It certainly seems possible, but unlikely in my opinion. They'd have to want to move on to AJ McCarron, but his status as a RFA or UDA is up in the air. 1

Not expecting it but would not be completely surprised either.

"Potential Out: 2018, 4 yr, $49,286,027; $2,400,000 dead cap". It would be legendary to get him, after he secured the Bills playoff spot. Edited January 2, 2018 by PIZ 1
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Honestly he wouldn't be a phenomenal long term answer but he would be a good stop gap while we wait for "The Guy". He is used to throwing 50/50 balls to have his guys go get it. He can actually read a defense. Has 16...oh no wait it 17 4th quarter comebacks. We could do much worse. He's not a franchise guy...but I would definitely take him.

It would be legendary to get him, after he secured the Bills playoff spot. It means they can cut him after 2017 season and only incur a dead cap of 2.4 mill for 2018. The 49 mill would be total that Dalton received and hit Cinci cap previous and including the 2.4 dead cap for 2018. There would be no dead cap going forward after 2018 and Dalton would be an unrestricted FA now. Edited January 2, 2018 by cba fan
Domdab99 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 (edited) OMFG you people... Dalton is a mid-tier QB, just like Tyrod. Sure, he'as a different kind of QB, but all you'd be doing is trading apples for oranges. Do you really want to trade a QB who can't anticipate very well for one who throws a lot of picks at inopportune times? I mean...this place, sometimes... Yes, he made a great throw the other day AFTER nearly getting picked off THREE times in the same drive. Edited January 2, 2018 by Domdab99 2

It would be legendary to get him, after he secured the Bills playoff spot. It basically means that 2018 would be the first year they can get out of the contract under reasonable terms. Most of the guaranteed money has been paid out, so if they cut him this year there is just a 2.4 million cap hit. If they've had cut him in 2017 they would have taken on a 18 million dollar dead cap hit.
CDogg20 Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 No. Just no. Hanging my hopes on Andy Dalton is something I didn’t even wanna do once.
GunnerBill Posted January 2, 2018 Posted January 2, 2018 Dalton is overpaid as all the QBs in that game manager level I put him in seem to be now but he is better than he sometimes gets credit for. 1

Yes, he made a great throw the other day AFTER nearly getting picked off THREE times in the same drive. Agreed. Dalton is a slightly better Tyrod. He is two years older and 1 inch taller. He also takes many more risks and therefore throws more picks. Their style of play is actually pretty similar. Tyrod is obviously faster, but Dalton can run a bit too.
