They may want to move on to youth and those not as injury risky.
They are one of several teams in the market for cornerstone quarterback whose name is not cam newton or jamis Winston or mitch trubisky.

ok, if we lose Dalton, I say bring him in and take a look. He has a ton of starts under his belt as well...

the FBT sucks if they dont have a true QB. That "brain trust" and I use that word loosely, in DC...never will be in MENSA. They better have a plan.

Solid backup option if Dalton signs elsewhere. But I think Dalton stays tbh.

I like him a touch better than Dalton because he takes care of the ball better.

100+ .....I'd sign him in a heartbeat. This move is all about his contract.....

Where is Sam Bradford? Some guys just need to retire. Alex Smith was able to play again last year after that devastating injury. I think he should feel good about that and move on from playing football.

Alex smith is a last resort with me.
Not for a guy that age advanced who apparently is still having questionable durability and health concerns.
If Alex is your primary backup, then we'd damn better have a suitable 3rd QB option. I'd be that much worried if he could even get thru one game in sound health.
Alex is not gonna challenge a defense vertically, as he's subconscious about being that much of a a very careful bus driver.
But the mobility is gone and the durability issues become that much more of a concern. Even if he is a backup.
I'd want to look at other options If we could.
In Andy Dalton I like the game experience, mobility and his health status. i'm not quite as worried about him hitting the ground and not getting back up as I would Alex Smith.
Dalton could be effective vet backup if he plays within his means and limits and doesn't force the issue, while we best utilize the weapons around him and keep up the OL.
Be interesting to see what the FA market offers for Dalton.
If we're supposed to have a top QB coaching staff (McCarthy, Kellen, Mussenheimer) that can develop QBs i'd like to see what we can do with a Gale Gilbert
while Ben Di Nucci develops at a gradual pace.

100% the reason Washington was successful. Smith allowed them to play solid defense, limit the turnovers and capitalize when needed.

If the Cowboys sign Smith, would that impact their comp pick for losing Dalton? If the answer is yes, I'm tempted to ride with Gilbert.

They're at 19 ( I think ).....pretty sure it cost at least two 1st rounders just to get in the top 10. Just me, but I see them trading for a starting vet.

No. He was cut therefore completely removed from any comp equations
