The 32-year-old requested a trade from Cincinnati Bengals as he wanted “the opportunity to see what’s out there.” However, no one in their wildest dreams expected him to zero in on the Dallas Cowboys despite him being a Texas native.

Andy Dalton Move to Dallas Cowboys catches everyone off guard
On his show Stephen A Smith said,
“I gotta admit it, I did not see this coming in a million years. I did not see this coming.”
Dallas Cowboys’ staff writer David Helman considers the move a steal.
“Honestly, what’s not to love? Dalton has started 133 games and thrown 200 + touchdowns. And he’s signing for a bargain. I love this addition and I never thought the Cowboys would do it…which seems to be a theme for 2020. Guess I need to re-adjust my expectations.”

Dalton was set to earn $17.6 million in the final year of his contract with The Bengals. However, they released him. This is because the franchise made Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow their top draft pick. But, as of now, they do not have a proper injury replacement for Burrow.
Dallas Cowboys swooped in and ensured that they have an able replacement should misfortune befall their quarterback and franchise player Dak Prescott.
The deal has evoked mixed reactions from fans. While some are in favor of this as they feel 2 top quarterbacks to compete at an optimum level across a full NFL season. Other fans even consider the backup to be much better than the starter. Their tweets indicate that there will be pressure on the 2016 4th round draft pick.
Good lord people. Dak will be signed, and the Cowboys just massively upgraded their back up QB situation. Good news.

Cowboyz Nation, I’m liking this pickup. In a 16 game season you need two solid QBs; Definitely in a 17 game season. Someone to step in without missing a beat or add energy. Call it 1 and 1a works for me. I still wish they had of got Jalen Hurts but understand now why they didn’t.

Dalton > Prescott. I don’t think this is debatable

The Dak Prescott-Amari Cooper combination was shown to be statistically better in comparison to Mahomes-Hill pairing. Hence, this shows that Jerry Jones is intent on getting the Super Bowl Trophy to Dallas. What do you think of this shocking signing?
