Matt Barkley Signs 2-Year Contract with Bengals After 1 Season with Cardinals

The Cincinnati Bengals announced they have agreed to a deal with free-agent quarterback Matt Barkley on Saturday.

The Bengals inked Andy Dalton's projected new backup quarterback to a two-year contract, filling the void left after previous Bengals backup A.J. McCarron joined Buffalo Bills earlier in free agency.

Now in his sixth NFL season, Barkley has bounced around after having stints with the Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers.

Barkley signed with the Cardinals last November after Drew Stanton was injured, though he didn't appear in a game.
