Veteran quarterback Andy Dalton is still on the sidelines, so to speak, for the 2020 NFL season. With teams he looked connected via the rumor mill already securing talent, what comes next for the one-time Bengals signal-caller is an interesting discussion.
Veteran Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton remains in limbo, sort of, as teams who were in need of and looking for help, have locked up some big names. Tom Brady and Philip Rivers have been addressed for at least 2020. Even Nick Foles, who was awful last season, secured a gig in Chicago with the Bears.
As for Dalton, it’s time to sit and wait. While some teams still make sense, the conventional wisdom thought of as recently as the NFL Combine looks to be out the window. With money via a contract reported as the big holdup, what comes next is what will have fans of the Red Rifle most intrigued.
Heading into the last week of March, there are still some teams who might be set at the position. At least they say they are. But with the NFL Draft still to come, the idea that Dalton is without a team in 2020 is highly unlikely. While losing out in Chicago is a head-scratcher, teams like the Jacksonville Jaguars and even the New England Patriots make a lot of sense.
But who else, or maybe more importantly, what other scenarios, could 2020 provide the one-time Cincinnati Bengals starter? Here are three to consider.
