"Another team's insurance policy": NFL fans react to Andy Dalton drawing trade interest as QB enters contract year with Panthers
Teams including the Jets, Raiders, and Steelers seek Dalton as a veteran backup and mentor amid a tight quarterback market, though Panthers expect minimal trade returns.
- ESPN's Adam Schefter revealed Wednesday that the Carolina Panthers have been receiving calls about a potential trade involving Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton.
- With limited quarterback options this offseason, Dalton's contract signed in February 2025 leaves him with one year remaining through the 2026 season, fueling trade interest.
- Dalton's résumé shows he is a 38-year-old quarterback and 2011 NFL draft second-round selection with career totals of 179 games, 169 starts, 62.6% completion, 39,793 yards, 254 TDs and 151 INTs.
- Reported trade outcomes point to the New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders and Carolina Panthers, with Carolina likely receiving only a future seventh-round or late-round pick.
- Viewed as a veteran mentor, Dalton is valued as a bridge quarterback and insurance policy, shaping trade interest and limited market value at this late stage of his career.
