From the article

Dalton is 38 years old with 173 career starts and he was playing with a lot of guys who aren't going to make the team in the second half of the final preseason game. Dalton looked better than McKee at least, finishing 12 of 19 for 104 yards, 1 TD, and 0 INTs.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Dalton's 38-year-old veteran status and preseason struggles make him unlikely to be traded or retained as QB2.

38-year-old veteran with 173 career starts competing for QB2 role. Finished 12 of 19 for 104 yards, 1 TD, and 0 INTs in preseason action, performing slightly better than Tanner McKee but still underwhelming. The source states 'it's still hard to argue he clears the bar as the No. 2 quarterback for a team that has valued the role so highly for more than a decade.' Played mostly against second and third-string defenses in the second half of the final preseason game. The source expresses skepticism about trade value: 'I don't think anyone is trading for either guy. If Howie can find a taker for Dalton, go ahead and put him in Canton.'
