The Cincinnati Bengals gave Andy Dalton what he wanted and released him last week, and it didn’t take long for the Bengals’ franchise leader in career touchdowns to find a new home.
According to reports, the Dallas Cowboys signed Dalton to a one-year contract worth $3 million guaranteed and up to a total of $7 million with incentives.
The money involved in the transaction paints Dalton’s role as that of a clear backup. However, his extensive history as a starter, including five straight playoff appearances from 2011-15, and the contract limbo of starting quarterback Dak Prescott has fed into suspicions that the signing could affect Prescott’s future with the team.
