Jets urged to consider Andy Dalton as solution to growing Cade Klubnik problem

As offseason hype rapidly mounted about Cade Klubnik potentially earning the New York Jets’ backup quarterback job, the common counter was the inherent danger of giving that role to a fourth-round rookie.
ESPN New York’s Jake Asman had a different name in mind, suggesting that the Jets try trading for Eagles backup Andy Dalton.
After nearly a decade as the Bengals’ starting quarterback, he’s since bounced around the league as a spot starter and reliable backup.
The downside of trading for Dalton, though, is giving up a draft pick for a quarterback of his age.
Dalton is a safer backup option than Klubnik or Zappe, but he’s not worth trading for, at least not with the current quarterback situation.
