As per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Dalton and the Bears have agreed to a one-year, $10 million deal. Along with the actual deal, the deal apparently comes with $3 million in incentives.

Dalton was last with the Cowboys, where he became a starter following Dak Prescott's season-ending injury. As part of the Andy Dalton stats, he posted 2059 passing yards with 14 TDs, 8 interceptions along with a 64.5% completion rate during his nine starts for the team. He played consistently for the team, who went 4-5 for the games which Dalton started. He has also played with the Cincinnati Bengals.
