The Cincinnati Bengals don't appear to be in a rush to get a new contract done with quarterback Andy Dalton.
Bengals vice president Troy Blackburn explained why right now isn't the right time to engage Dalton in talks on a new deal, per Geoff Hobson of the team's official website:
"We didn't sign the Andy Dalton deal because we thought it was a good deal. At the time it was an expensive deal. It was a heavy lift. We did it because Andy was a winning starting quarterback in the National Football League, he had demonstrated that.
