I think the Saints bring Dalton back.
Oh they'll toss some feelers out there and maybe getting that 1st rounder from Denver changes the calculus for them a bit. But it's Miami's 1st, right? The 1st round caliber QBs are gonna be gone by then. And they need too much help to package those picks and move up just yet, IMO.
So they keep Dalton for a bridge year. He was perfectly average for them last year and he probably won't cost much to retain. Now they could elect to move on in pursuit of just bottoming out and getting their QB next season, but if that's their plan, they'd probably be better served to simply trade this years first rounder for a 3rd rounder and a 1st next year or something. Then they enter next year's draft with 2 picks in the first and they just send some scrub like Mariota out there to die this year.
