Will be curious to see final details of Andy Dalton’s contract. Early word was more fully guaranteed than Kaepernick’s $12.3M.

There are 6 new years on the Dalton deal, beyond him already signed in 2014. So Bengals have his rights thru 2020

Breathtakingly dumb, unless it truly is like Kaepernick's deal.

Only way I see this making sense is if the salary numbers start low-ish (say, $14M?) and climb every year. If they're paying him anywhere near the average of 19M they're making a huge mistake.
