Bengals aren't seeking contract extension for Andy Dalton this year

CINCINNATI -- The Bengals won't be focusing on an extension for quarterback Andy Dalton anytime soon, and with three years left on his current deal, that shouldn't be a surprise.

Bengals vice president Troy Blackburn told reporters at the owners meetings this week that they don't feel it's the right time for an extension. Considering the huge deals handed out this spring, the Bengals got a steal with Dalton's contract.

Kirk Cousins signed a three-year deal with the Vikings for $84 million guaranteed, while Jimmy Garoppolo's five-year extension with the Niners will pay him an average of $27.
