The Chicago Bears agreed to a one-year, $10m contract with former Cincinnati Bengals and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton, his agent Jeffrey Nalley said on Tuesday.
The move looks to have all but ended the prospect of the Seattle Seahawks trading Russell Wilson, who is reported to be unhappy with the team he has led to two Super Bowl appearances. The Bears were one of four teams, along with the Dallas Cowboys, New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders, that Wilson’s agent said his client is willing to join if he leaves Seattle. The Bears now have Dalton, the Cowboys recently signed their starting quarterback Dak Prescott to an extension and the Saints have salary cap issues and have brought back Jameis Winston.
