May 5, 201412 yr I can't tell you. But I really don't think Dalton is a Hue Jackson guy. :lol2: Ahh, so ya made it up. Cool. Could the Cincinnati Bengals Deal Andy Dalton in NFL Draft? - NFL Mocks - 2013 NFL Mock Draft, Fantasy Football, NFL News, and NFL Mock Draft Databases Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans among possible deals Obviously being rookies they wouldn’t be instant upgrade over Dalton but the Cincinnati Bengals know they might have to take that risk if they wish to compete for a championship before the window closes. The only question is can they find an interested team to deal with? While it’s unlikely they could make a jump all the way to #2 or #1 without surrendering a hardy supply of draft picks in addition to Dalton, they do have a couple of possible dealers to contact in the Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans. Minnesota is now under the direction of new head coach Mike Zimmer, who was defensive coordinator for Cincinnati before getting that job. He knows Dalton very well and knows the 26-year old can run a game managing type scheme to fit his needs as defense-first coach. It’s a move that would allow the Vikings to compete right away and avoid the need to rely on veteran Matt Cassel while they potentially develop their own rookie. As for the Titans, Ken Whisenhunt is a renowned quarterback specialist. His revival of Philip Rivers in San Diego was only his latest success story. If Tennessee is not sold on current starter Jake Locker, and there are rumblings that could be the case, then dealing for a proven commodity like Dalton could see favorable. The Cincinnati Bengals are the only ones who know their plans for the NFL draft on the 8th. Until then this rumor regarding a trade of Andy Dalton is nothing more than another exciting topic to debate.

May 5, 201412 yr Thanks. Not sure why ukfan thought he had to keep this a secret. This goes to you and other Bengal fans as well, would you guys trade Dalton and your first round pick to the Vikings for their first round pick?
May 5, 201412 yr This goes to you and other Bengal fans as well, would you guys trade Dalton and your first round pick to the Vikings for their first round pick? Not a chance. There isn't a QB in this draft that will be better than Dalton will this coming season. Wouldn't be worth it. By the time the guy they draft is ready to make a real impact, other guys will be a couple years older and the window of opportunity will have closed IMO.

May 5, 201412 yr No way. I wouldn't either, but I know a lot of people are down on Dalton in a big way. As a non-Bengals fan, I think he is what holds them back from being truly elite. But, at the same time, he is better than a lot of QBs so it'd be a "be careful what you wish for" situation. Best bet for them is to let Dalton either play his way into a huge contract after this season or see that he isn't the fit long term.

Anybody that would trade Dalton & the Bengals 1st rounder for the 8th pick in the draft is an idiot.

May 6, 201412 yr I also heard the Bengals and Dalton are miles apart on a new contract. That's good news, and prolly why the talk of drafting at QB. I'm on record liking Bortles early if he's available and Carr/Murray/Metzenberger later. I seem to recall Dalton being the 'down to earth' guy who was grateful for a chance to play in the NFL. Now he thinks he's Chad- face of the franchise talk (AJ Green says 'hi') and wants paid like he's a Manning brother or Brady? Win something before you try to get paid.

Not sure if it changes your opinion, but Mettenberger was one of the players that failed a drug test at the combine Glazer: Mettenberger, Jernigan failed drug tests at Combine | FOX Sports on MSN
May 6, 201412 yr Mike Brown is getting Dalton at a discount this year he isn't stupid. He is going to play the Flacco hand, the only way Mike losses is if Dalton leads the Bengals to their first SB title and is that really losing? I'd play that hand.
