Andy and Jordan did a ton for the Cincinnati community during Dalton’s time with the Bengals, and they will likely always maintain ties to the area. We saw how appreciated Dalton was by the city with the way his charity was flooded donations amid tough circumstances last season.

Dalton may have a better chance to win a championship in Dallas, but all indications are that he is not going to get any significant playing time unless there is an injury.
