When the Dallas Cowboys signed Andy Dalton, it set off some unusual conversations in certain Cowboys circles. Given Dalton’s long pedigree as a starter and the Cowboys issues getting Dak Prescott signed to a long-term contract, wheels started turning. It wasn’t taken over-seriously, but the idea that the Cowboys were plotting something other than the obvious took hold here and there.
Let Andy Dalton set the record straight. He’s here for one purpose only, to be Dak Prescott’s backup.
“My mindset is, I’m going try to be the biggest asset to this team, try to help out this offense, help out Dak, help out everybody as much as I can,” Dalton said on a conference call.
