The Bengals benching Andy Dalton goes beyond just this season. Dalton has just one year left on his contract and was essentially playing for an extension next offseason. Sitting at 0-8 and at the bottom of most quarterback metrics White Deshaun Davis Jersey , the ninth-year quarterback has not only played himself out of a job in Cincinnati this year, but maybe altogether. With this decision, the Bengals may’ve declared to the NFL that they’re done with Dalton entirely. The most likely outcome at this point seems to be the Bengals releasing Dalton next offseason before they draft his replacement.But what if they decide to trade him? Here are four teams that would surely be interested in Dalton’s services right now.Chicago BearsThis one’s rather obvious. Bears’ quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has severely underperformed in his third year and at 3-4, Chicago should be desperate to turn their season around. They disposed quite a bit of draft capital when they traded for Khalil Mack and are reasonably in win-now mode. Head coach Matt Nagy declared Trubisky the starter for Week 9 before Dalton was benched, maybe his thoughts change with Dalton potentially on the market. Denver BroncosThis week, the Broncos plan to start Brandon Allen against the Browns. If you don’t know who that is, no one is blaming you. Their starter, Joe Flacco, could be out for the next month due to a neck injury and at 2-6 in a weak division Tyler Boyd Jersey , they may not be ready to give up. Dalton wouldn’t be much of an upgrade over Flacco but he surely could give them a better chance at winning than Allen could.Washington Redskins This would make more sense if Jay Gruden didn’t already get fired, but Washington’s quarterback situation hasn’t exactly improved since he left. Case Keenum has been solid but nowhere near good enough and Dwayne Haskins simply isn’t ready. This team isn’t going anywhere this year, but Dalton could give them some stability in figuring out where their roster is at if they aren’t satisfied enough with Keenum. Tennessee TitansHaving already benched their quarterback this year, the Titans are currently starting Ryan Tannehill, who has looked fine for all intents and purposes. At 4-4, the Titans are very much in the AFC South race and while they could be content with Tannehill, the option of bringing in Dalton to compete shouldn’t be ruled out. With Marcus Mariota’s contract expiring at the end of this season, Dalton could give them a veteran quarterback for next year to potentially mentor a rookie they may draft, BEREA Cheap Kevin Huber Jersey , Ohio (AP) — While the Browns relaxed during the bye week, their fired former coach went back to work.Hue Jackson’s got a new gig.And this strange season in Cleveland will take another odd turn Sunday when the Browns face the Bengals and Jackson, who somehow survived an 0-16 season and was only briefly unemployed before being hired last week as a special assistant to Cincinnati coach Marvin Lewis.“It is Hue,” defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah said.But even though Jackson has changed back into Bengals stripes, the Browns aren’t worried that their ex-coach on the sideline gives Cincinnati an added advantage.“It’s a divisional game!” cried Browns safety Damarious Randall. “We knew what they were doing before he went over there and they know exactly what we’re going to do. At the end of the day, we’re just going to go out and punch them in the mouth — straight up. That’s exactly what you have to do on the road rivalry games. You have to go punch them in the mouth.“If that’s what we do, it doesn’t matter what they have over there.”Jackson’s same-season reunion against the Browns seems to be unprecedented. The NFL doesn’t keep record of coaches facing their former teams.“It is surprising,” Browns guard Kevin Zeitler said.The Browns (3-6-1) returned from their week off healthier than they’ve been all season, and there was even chatter inside the locker room about making a playoff run over the next six weeks.First Darqueze Dennard Jersey , though, comes a somewhat awkward reunion with Jackson, who was fired on Oct. 29, a day after the Browns lost in Pittsburgh. Jackson’s dismissal wasn’t unexpected, given his struggles in Cleveland.But his return to Cincinnati, where Jackson worked as offensive coordinator with the Bengals (5-5) under Lewis before he was hired by the Browns in 2016, has created two matchups in which the spotlight will be focused on him — whether he likes it or not.Jackson had a good rapport with his players in Cleveland and several on Monday said they were thrilled he landed on his feet so quickly.“It will feel a little awkward, but I’m very happy for coach Jackson,” cornerback T.J. Carrie said. “He is a great coach and a great person. It was not going to be a long time before he wasn’t without a job Cheap Dre Kirkpatrick Jersey , so it is really good just to be able to see him in a position where he is being able to control a lot of the things over there.”Jackson’s intimate knowledge of Cleveland’s personnel, schemes and playbook would seem to give the Bengals an almost unfair benefit.But like Randall, Carrie said AFC North games are decided by which team executes better and not by any insider knowledge.Carrie doesn’t think Jackson jumping teams makes any difference.“These divisional games, we play year in and year out twice a year,” he said. “We know what they are going to do. They know what we are going to do. There is not really more scheme-wise that they can really dive into that we can surprise them with. It is all going to be about going out there and playing smash-mouth football.”Interim Browns coach Gregg Williams said he was “happy” for Jackson and called him a “very smart coach.” However, he said the Browns won’t change any of their play call or audibles and Jackson’s familiarity with the Browns won’t make much difference once the game starts.“There is nothing private in our world anymore,” Williams said. “Every single clip of film is out there for everybody to watch. It is about execution. We have to go and execute. Even in practices, our guys know what the guys on the other side of the ball are going to be doing, but they get out-executed at times.”Randall said Jackson’s impact will be minimal.It’s not him vs. the Browns Geno Atkins Jersey Limited , it’s the Bengals vs. the Browns.“The game is on 11-on-11 up on the field and I don’t feel like them having him over there is going to give them no type of edge,” he said.“It is what it is. They see what we do up on film. Whatever they need to know, they can watch film and see it. We don’t got nothing to hide over here, we’re here to play football and that’s exactly what we’re going to do.”NOTES: Williams said he intends to interview for Cleveland’s full-time job once the season ends. Last week, general manager John Dorsey said Williams had earned an interview with the job he’s done since stepping in. … The starting left tackle job remains an open competition between rookie Desmond Harrison and Greg Robinson, who started the past two games before the bye.
