What the Andy Dalton signing means for Taysom Hill and Ian Book

The New Orleans Saints have gotten themselves a serviceable backup QB. New Orleans announced the signing of Andy Dalton to a 1 year, $6 million deal with nearly $3 million guaranteed. The contracts gives the 34-year-old coined as “The Red Rifle” the opportunity to be on a contending franchise in the later years of his career. The 3-time Pro Bowler will be a huge benefit for Dennis Allen’s offense under Jameis Winston, who is returning from an torn ACL suffered last season. Dalton has also thrown for 35k yards and 226 TDS with only 135 INTs in his career.
