Quarterback Andy Dalton is officially a free agent after his long-speculated release from the Cincinnati Bengals was confirmed. A recent Carolina Panthers news story has listed the franchise as a possible destination.
The writing has been on the wall for the signal-caller for some time and his fate was sealed the moment LSU’s prolific gunslinger Joe Burrow was taken first overall by the Bengals in the 2020 NFL Draft.
This ends a nine-year stay in Cincinnati for Dalton, which has been littered with inconsistencies. A renaissance might be in the pipeline if the player manages to thrive in a new environment.
