While the timing of benching Andy Dalton for Ryan Finley seems right for the Bengals, it wasn’t unanimously agreed upon by all parties.
Dalton spoke with the media today, less than a full day since the news of his demotion broke, and expressed clear frustration about the decision head coach Zac Taylor made, mainly because it happened so close to the trade deadline.
Dalton said his agent attempted to survey trade options with other teams, but made it clear that there wasn’t enough time to get any deal settled.
