Quarterback Andy Dalton returns on a two-year deal

Of course, Dalton has value beyond his mentorship alone, as his performance against the Raiders, in particular, shows he can still play (319 yards and three touchdowns in that win).

In 14 seasons with the Bengals, Cowboys, Bears, Saints, and Panthers, Dalton has thrown for 39,500 yards, with 253 touchdowns and 150 interceptions, for a passer rating of 87.5.

He’s 26th on the all-time passing yards list, ahead of Hall of Famers, including Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Kurt Warner, and Y.A. Tittle.

He’s also 26th all-time in passing touchdowns, one behind Hall of Famer Dan Fouts on that list.
