A few days after making Joe Burrow the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals are reportedly cutting the cord with Andy Dalton.
Bengals are releasing QB Andy Dalton, per source.
Dalton started the second-most games at quarterback in Bengals franchise history with 133, behind Ken Anderson’s 172, and had the highest win percentage with the franchise of any QB with more than 50 starts (.534). He’s also first in team history in TD passes with 204 and second to Anderson with 31,594 pass yards.
The writing was on the wall when first-year Bengals head coach Zac Taylor benched Dalton in favor of 2019 fourth-rounder Ryan Finley for a three-game spell, although they went back to Dalton at the end of the season.
