Backup QB Battle and Trade Speculation

The backup quarterback competition between Andy Dalton and Tanner McKee continues. Two new trade proposals surface linking McKee to the Detroit Lions for a fourth-round pick, adding fuel to speculation that McKee could be moved before the season. Dalton is signed, and rookie Cole Payton is also in camp, making McKee a potential trade asset. The preseason opener vs. Ravens will be a key test for both QBs, with high stakes for fringe roster players like Johnny Wilson, Grant Calcaterra, and others.
