While Dalton is staying in shape, it's likely he gets replaced by LSU's Joe Burrow this coming season.
There's also been rumors the Bengals will either cut or trade Dalton, but nothing has come to fruition yet.
The 32-year-old went 2-11 last season with a 59.5 completion percentage, 3,494 yards, 16 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Quite frankly, it wouldn't be surprising if they decide to roll with Burrow at QB moving forward.
Dalton hasn't had a winning season since 2015 and has struggled each year since then. If Cincinnati decides to cut him, then which teams could look at Dalton?
The most obvious option is the New England Patriots. Dalton has been connected to Bill Belichick and New England for a while now, so it wouldn't be surprising if they decide to pull the trigger. With Tom Brady off to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Patriots are spread rather thin at QB.
Next up we have the Jacksonville Jaguars. While they're expected to rely on Gardner Minshew at QB, Dalton could be a solid backup plan. The Los Angeles Chargers also could use Dalton as a fallback plan if Tyrod Taylor doesn't pan out like they hoped.
Wherever Dalton lands, he'll likely have a gig in the NFL, unlike Cam Newton and Jameis Winston, who are struggling to find a job.
