CINCINNATI — Former Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton is signing a two-year, $8 million deal with $6 million guaranteed with the Panthers according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Dalton spent the first seven seasons of his career in Cincinnati, helping the Bengals make the playoffs in five-straight seasons (2011-15).

The Bengals moved on from Dalton in 2020 after taking Joe Burrow with the No. 1 overall pick.

Since then, Dalton has played for the Cowboys, Bears, Saints and Panthers. He spent the past two seasons in Carolina.

Dalton is 2-12 as a starter against the Bengals. He beat them as a member of the Cowboys and Bears. The Bengals beat the Panthers in Carolina last season and they also beat the New Orleans Saints in 2022.

"Total pro. Total pro," Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said prior to the Bengals' Week 4 win over the Panthers last season. "I'll always be grateful to Andy. He led us through a very difficult time, did it the right away, was always really good with me, with giving me feedback, especially as a first-year head coach and all the challenges we faced that year."

Dalton will turn 38 in October. The Bengals picked him in the second round (35th overall) in the 2011 NFL Draft.

Dalton tacks on at least another $6 million to what already has been $110 million in career earnings.
