If he did start and play well, that would be the three million dollar bargain of the year.

He’d have to get over them primetime/big stage woes real quick...

Let's hope we have fans in the stands, so we can give him a warm ovation when Dallas returns.

you are correct (or if Dak gets hurt) but nice move by Dallas to protect their team investment if Dak does hold out.. Dalton will slide right in to his home state as a QB with a solid line and a great running back..... smart move by Dallas and Andy

Yeah, 3m for a vet backup like Dalton is a deal.

Well he has one thing over Dak.. lead his team to the playoff  5 straight years in the league. Dak is just 2 for 4...

I agree up to 7 million (wonder what all the 4 million includes)

[jj22]

That was quick.

Dallas fans are thrilled.

He does, but that’s ancient history. It’s a what have you done lately type of league. And Dak put up great numbers last year, while Andy got benched.

[Kingslayer]

Is Dak 33 million better than Dalton? I don't think so

2019 stats he did very well but they went 8-8 and as you have said QB are the leaders.. so he did not lead them to playoffs last year.. and I would never say ancient history.. it is history that probably got Andy signed quickly... His attributes appealed to Dallas to sign him...

Yes, as a backup.

Dak is young, and is the future of the franchise. Jerry will open up the wallet soon enough.

Dak never seemed that special to me. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Dalton was the starter. Even if Dak signed too.

So they’re gonna sign Dak to a huge contract, and then turn around and make Dalton the starter? Makes sense...

The last primetime game he started on a non Zac Taylor coached team he he threw 3 TDs in the first half against the number 1 defense in the league.

He did look like garbage against Pittsburgh on Monday night last year though. Fairly certain Benny Snell had a higher QBR that game. Tomlin schooled Zac that night. Aside from Mixon crushing a blitzer, that was the toughest Bengals game I can remember watching.

You play for Dallas you get the hype machine as a QB but Dak is a solid QB.. though he has a great running back and a elite line that does not hurt and 2 out of 4 in making playoffs 1-2 in playoffs but could be interesting if they only franchise him this year and Dallas has a bad season and misses playoffs again.. Dalton could have an opening in 2021 but I don;t expect that.. I see Andy going 1 year in Dallas and as a FA will have much more opportunities to get with a team as a starter or a chance to start.

This though was a perfect move for the Family man.. they already live in Dallas, from Texas.. no need to uproot kids for one year..

$3 million, i guess he didnt want to stay in Cincinnati after all. $7million if he takes them to the super bowl.

I don't know.  I think the man wants like 40 million a year.  I can't imagine a 4th round pick not signing already.  Jesus how much money does a man need? 

I have been getting by on $500 the last month waiting for my damn stimulus check which has yet to come and I still can't re open my business.  Can't get unemployment to go through.  Yet this guy needs more than $30 million per....

F*** Dak

[Bengalstripes9]

Sounds like a smart move. Stick around family. Go to a tram with a good offensive line and weapons. May not start, but he could def. see some playing time. Injury. Hold out. Who knows?

I wouldn’t want to touch Jax with a ten foot pole. Didn’t sound like NE was interested. Dallas certainly fits him.
